Lagavulin 16yr Old Islay Single Malt 750ml

Description

92 Points Whisky Advocate

A much sought-after single malt Scotch whisky with the massive peat-smoke that’s typical of southern Islay – but also offering richness and a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting tipple. The 16-year-old has truly become a benchmark Islay dram from the Lagavulin distillery.

“Lagavulin is a classic example of how smoke isn’t a blunt instrument that covers everything in a fog, but an element that works with all the flavours produced in distillation and maturation. Lagavulin isn’t ‘smokey,’ its peat moves into a weird territory of Lapsang Souchong tea and pipe tobacco, fishboxes and kippers. It smells of laurel and light cereal but is always sweet. The palate shows more creosote, with hints of kelp and a little touch of iodine. Complex.”
