Lagavulin's 1980 Distillers Edition was released in 1999, like the 1979 and the 1981 vintage containing a regular 16-year old Lagavulin which was finished in PX Sherry Wood casks for two more years.

Lagavulin distillery is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in Port Ellen on Islay, Scotland. The name of Lagavulin is an anglicization of the Gaelic lag a'mhuilin, meaning "hollow by the mill". The distillery officially dates from 1816 when John Jonston and Archibald Campbell constructed two distilleries on the site. One of them became Lagavulin, taking over the other-which one is not exactly known. Records show illicit distillation in at least ten illegal distilleries on the site as far back as 1742, however. In the 19th century, several legal battles ensued with their neighbour Laphroaig, brought about after the distiller at Lagavulin, Sir Peter Mackie, leased the Laphroaig distillery. It is said that Mackie attempted to copy Laphroaig's style. Since the water and peat at Lagavulin's premises was different from that at Laphroaig's, the result was different.
