The huge wine and spirits place in Gateway Center in Everett (Total Wine and More) will probably have it. You can call ahead - they are very friendly with the special request stuff.
It is possible to walk over there from Wellington or take a bus from Wellington if you don't have a car.
Check with Bauer Wine & Spirits on Newbury Street. They have a decent scotch selection for a smallish city shop, and as a bonus, they have a playful store cat that can often be found batting pens around near the cash register.
My friend purchased a bottle of it at Blanchard's in Allston a summer or two ago. Not exactly the place one would expect to find such a fine bottle of scotch, but there it was, in their fancy-pants locked whisky cabinet.
They're also _extremely_ good about tracking down obscure bottles for you. And in general I just love them so much. My wife and I used them for our wedding: we provided two nips of whiskey to every guest, and Ball Square hooked us up with some really reasonably priced bottles. They've earned my loyalty, and I go back to them for everything now. Whenever I want to buy a special bottle for someone's birthday/anniversary/etc., Ball Square are my guys.
It's pretty easy to find at most well-stocked liquor stores. We got a bottle on sale on Saturday for $69.99, about as low as the price will go around here.

It's my malt of choice. It can be pricey. Right now, Macy's in West Roxbury has it on sale for $70. Likely the best you'll find.
You could instead go fr the 37-year-old for $3,600. (I love the peat and iodine notes, but not that much.)

To add to the Ball Square endorsement
…it's worth noting that they track their inventory on the web. Here's a search for 'Lagavulin': http://www.ballsquarefinewines.com/main.asp?request=SEARCH&search=lagavulin

Lagavulin 16 Year Single Malt
I just bought some at Liquor World in Porter Square a couple of weeks ago--they have the cheapest bottle I've found, about $85 for the 16 year.

had Lagavulin as part of its Scotch tasting last week.
That stuff is wonderful. A very good gift choice. (And if the giftee doesn't want it, I'll take it :-) )
