Lagavulin 8yo 750ml

Description

Double Gold – 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition

Released to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of Lagavulin distillery by John Johnston in 1816, this eight-year-old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is big and smoky. A celebration of the people and craft that have made Lagavulin great over the last two centuries, its fragrant, tea-scented smoke alongside nose-drying, maritime aromas is unlocked with just a drop of water.

48% Alc/vol. | 96 Proof

Light gold. Immediately quite soft with clean, fresh notes, faint hints of milk chocolate and lemon – developing fragrant, tea-scented smoke alongside nose-drying, maritime aromas. The body is light, growing pleasantly oily. A magnificently full-on Lagavulin taste that’s somehow even bigger than you expect and charred, with minty, dark chocolate. A clean, long and smoky finish – subtle, minted smoke, chocolate tannins and finally warming, leaving the palate dry as sweet smoke lingers on the breath.
