Aged in oak casks for at least 16 years, this highly rated single malt Scotch whisky has the massive peat-smoke flavor synonymous with the southern Islay region of Scotland. Best enjoyed from a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little still water. Room-temperature water can bring out the hidden aromas and flavors of the whisky, making it more mellow and easy to drink.

APPEARANCE: Deep amber gold. BODY: A long, elegant peat-filled finish with lots of salt and seaweed. NOSE: Intensely flavoured, peat smoke with iodine and seaweed and a rich, deep sweetness. PALATE: Dry peat smoke fills the palate with a gentle but strong sweetness, followed by sea and salt with touches of wood. FINISH: A long, elegant peat-filled finish with lots of salt and seaweed.

Full bodied and round with classic spice and cooked fruit notes enveloped in a delicious wash of peat smoke and peppercorns that moves through to the balanced and elegant finish.
Campfire, roasted grains, red peppers, flamed lemon zest, and barley biscuits are powerfully aromatic in this classic whisky. The silken texture washes over the palate with intense flavors of smoke, leather, and fire roasted grains. A touch of honey rounds out the finish.

This has been Lagavulin’s principal expression for more than 30 years. Iodine, rich peat, and caramel on the early nose, with sherry, sea salt, and charcuterie. The oily, briny palate offers peat and a medicinal note, along with black tea, Seville orange, toffee, cinnamon, and a hint of smoked fish. Peat embers and hot tar in the lengthy, spicy finish. Deeply satisfying!

Soy sauce, olive brine, peat, honey, oloroso Sherry, brewer's yeast, bread dough, barley malt and cigar smoke in the bouquet. The flavor that magically includes the innate intense peatiness of Islay malts and the masterly employment of oak barrels phase defines “classy Islay.” Concludes sweetly, without sacrificing the tangy, astringent peatiness that is inherent. Gorgeous.
