Talk:Lagavulin distillery

Name

I would like to propose to change the name of this article to: "Lagavulin" following several other whisky distelleries.

I agree that standardisation of articles on Scotch Whisky is needed, but when I looked further into this, I found the issue is complicated. At present there is a confusing mixture of articles about distilleries, and articles about single malts. Some distilleries are in major towns, and both deserve an article. Some distilleries dominate minor villages to such an extent that two separate articles would be inappropriate.

My own opinion is that we should concentrate on articles on distilleries, and that information about single malts should be within these. Buildings change less quickly than brands, and this system would work better for distilleries where some, or all, of the product goes for blending. CarolGray 18:40, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm sort of with you there, but when it comes right down to it, it's the whisky that people are familiar with, and likely to be searching, where it's made is sort of secondary. I mean, our article on Coca-Cola is going to be about the drink, not the plant that makes it. On the other hand, I did write an article on Springbank Distillery rather than Springbank Single Malt, because the distillery was particularly notable for its location and methods, as well as the fact that they make 3 different single malts there, which I could cover under a single article. However, most articles on these brands are very short, and could maybe use some merging somehow. So maybe the whole process needs to be overhauled. Right now the whole category is littered with tiny stubs and redlinks. There are few real quality articles here. -R. fiend 18:58, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

On reflection, I think my previous viewpoint is rather parochial. (I'm interested in distilleries because I like to visit them.) For an international audience, I would agree with you it is the whisky that people are interested in. The article under discussion is primarily about the whisky, so the current name seems appropriate. If someone wants to add a lot of detail about the distillery's history, or architecture, (or about the village of Lagavulin), then a separate article called Lagavulin Distillery could be created.

I'd be against the idea of a separate article. It's not like the current article is bursting at the seams. They can both be discussed together; there's no reason for them not to be. One of wikipedia's problems it has is the tendency to have 4 articles where one will do. All it does is increase wikipedia's article count in the race for a million, at the expense if creating more complete cohesive articles that can more easily be watched for vandalism. Whether an article on the whisky includes a section of the distillery or vice versa, there's no reason to separate them. -R. fiend 02:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Pronunciation

Is it possible to include a link to a sound file with the pronunciation of the name? Like it is done for example in the Nikon article for "Nikon"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.2.190.254 (talk) 10:56, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

I also think it would be a good idea to provide the pronunciation. Single Malts often have difficult pronunciations, and that's actually why I originally visited this article! A sound bite would be nice, but the phonetic spelling is almost necessary. Does anyone know how Lagavulin is supposed to be pronounced? MetaFight (talk) 16:29, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Am adding to & rearranging items list "In popular culture"

Hello All,

I am going to re-order this list to be more chronological & am adding a new item: the appearance of a whiskey from this distillery in the movie "28 Days Later". 1) The "Dead Irish Writers" ep of West Wing was March 6, 2002; 2) "28 Days Later" was released 1 November 2002; 3) Necessary Roughness was a 2011 show; 4) Parks And Recreation is a Apr. 2009 to present show: an ep showing Lagavulin ("Live Ammo") aired April 19, 2012. So, that's how I'm going to order the items. SaturnCat (talk) 18:32, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Pre-edit text as of 24 Aug 2013:

"Lagavulin 16-year-old is the preferred scotch of Ron Swanson, a character on NBC's Parks And Recreation.[4]

Lagavulin was referenced on an episode of NBC's The West Wing titled "Dead Irish Writers" as the preferred scotch of the character, Lord John Marbury.

Lagavulin was given as a gift in the "Good Will Haunting" episode of USA Network's Necessary Roughness by sports agent Connor McClane (John Stamos) to coach Tom Wizinski (David Andrews)."

Manager turnover

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason why managers last such a short time?Bill (talk) 04:36, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
