Lagavulin snifter FOTCM

Probably the most typical representative of Islay.
The year of foundation of Lagavulin is stated to be 1816, although it is true that this is uncertain.
The origins of Lagavulin are obscure, but it is certain that it originated from one of the many black distilleries that were active on the island in the 18th century.
The current buildings were built in 1924 by White Horse Distillers.
White Horse Distillers goes back to James L. Mackie, who operated on Islay in 1867 a distillery.
It is believed that this was Laphroaig.

Nosing glass with the logo of the Lagavulin distillery
The Classic Malts include Glenkinchie, Cragganmore, Dalwhinnnie, Oban, Talisker and Lagavulin.
The glass has the typical tulip shape of a nosing glass.
Through the bulbous body at the bottom of the whiskey can be very well warmed with the palm.
The tapered opening of the glasses prevents the ascending aromas from flowing out of the glasses.

On the front of the glasses the logo of the distillery is shown, as well as the addition "Friends of the Classic Malts 2008".
On the back of the glass are two calibration lines (2cl and 4cl).
