Todd Snyder Collection Honors Lagavulin Whisky Roots

NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Todd Snyder and Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Whisky have released Time & Craft, a limited-edition menswear and lifestyle collection that marks Todd Snyder New York’s 15th anniversary. The capsule, rooted in a shared appreciation for character developed through patience and process, brings Scottish patterns and textiles to Todd Snyder’s Americana signatures. The collection, which features a campaign starring Ben Ahlers shot at the Lagavulin Distillery on Islay, is a reflection of the designer’s own design process, which starts with enduring forms and materials, then finds new ways to make them relevant.

The collection’s name and inspiration come from the Time & Craft that is central to both houses. Lagavulin 16-Year-Old, a signature expression made at the Lagavulin Distillery on Islay through a notably slow distillation process, serves as a core reference. This signature expression, which has spent at least 16 years maturing in oak barrels, offers a reflection upon Snyder’s own design process.

Todd Snyder, founder of Todd Snyder New York, has a deep connection to Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Whisky. As he learned more about how Lagavulin 16-Year-Old is made, he found a lot that felt familiar: the care that goes into choosing materials, the knowledge built over generations, and the necessary patience for the process. Snyder wanted the collection to reflect that approach, as well as the character of Islay, in pieces people could wear and live with.

To introduce the collection, Todd Snyder and Lagavulin traveled to Islay, home to the Lagavulin Distillery, to shoot the Time & Craft campaign. Photography by Boo George and film by Michael Casker place the collection within the island’s landscape and working distillery, alongside the people who make the whisky. Actor Ben Ahlers stars as the face of the campaign, bringing his own perspective to a story about how traditions can both endure and evolve.

Those people are as much a part of Lagavulin’s story as the landscape itself, bringing the knowledge and connection to Islay that inspired the collection into the campaign. Featured alongside Ahlers are former Lagavulin Warehouse Manager Iain “Pinky” McArthur, who has spent over 50 years in Scotch, and his grandson Shane, who continues the family connection. Current Senior Operators Grant Addison and Robert Shaw, as well as Karen Robertson, an Islay native who grew up overlooking Lagavulin Bay and now works as the Distillery’s Events & Experiences Manager, are also featured.

As someone who genuinely loves Lagavulin 16-Year-Old, Diageo, the parent company of Lagavulin, was excited to immerse Todd in the place behind the whisky - our distillery on the island of Islay, as well as the generations of people who have crafted our spirit for more than 200 years. Todd was eager to interpret our principles of tradition and craftsmanship through his own point of view and design process, resulting in a lineup of quality, weatherable pieces that perfectly complement the Scotch that inspired them.

The capsule marks the first chapter of the Todd Snyder New York x Lagavulin partnership, which will continue through in-store experiences and storytelling from Islay. The campaign shoot also produced a larger body of work that will unfold beyond launch, offering a deeper look at the Lagavulin Distillery and the people, places, and rituals shaped by time.

The Time & Craft collection is available as of October 8 at toddsnyder.com/lagavulin and select Todd Snyder stores across the U.S. Consumers of legal drinking age can also visit ReserveBar to purchase Lagavulin 16-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
