Description
Lagavulin is distinguished for being a whiskey of deep intensity and a marked smoky character. Since 1816, Lagavulin single malt Scotch whiskey has been produced in a charming group of buildings on the shores of the bay of the same name. Celebrated as 'the king of Islay' by connoisseurs, it is a must-have in any whiskey enthusiast's collection. To the nose, this robust single malt whiskey displays a vigorous aroma of peat smoke complemented by iodine, seaweed and an intense, enriching sweetness.
On the palate, the smokiness of the peat dominates with an exquisite and powerful sweetness, evolving towards marine and saline notes with a slight woody nuance. It culminates in a long and distinguished finish, where peat, salinity and algae predominate, celebrating the emblematic smoky flavor typical of southern Islay, along with a richness and dryness that make it exceptionally attractive.
This 16-year-old Lagavulin has established itself as the flagship expression of the Lagavulin distillery. The best way to appreciate it is in a glass of classic whiskey, neat or slightly diluted with still water. Adding water at room temperature can reveal subtle aromas and flavors, softening the taste. It is the perfect gift for those who value richly peated whiskeys, suitable for any celebration. It has an alcoholic content of 43%.
