Laggan Bay Distillery

Laggan Bay Distillery is Islay’s newest whisky distillery, marking the next chapter in the Russell family’s long whisky‑making journey. Located overlooking the sands of Laggan Bay, the distillery takes its name from this windswept Atlantic coastline, which shapes both our whisky and our sense of responsibility to place.

Led by Distillery Manager Malcolm Rennie, an Islay native, Laggan Bay is guided by a clear intent from the start: to create a bold and peaty Islay single malt, with clarity of spirit, balance of flavour and a character that stands confidently on its own.
