Lagavulin 16 Years Islay

Islay Single Malt Whisky
70cl / 43%
Country: Scotland

Lagavulin 16-Year-Old was originally intended to be a limited edition bottling. However, due to its popularity, Lagavulin 16-Year-Old has become a permanent part of the Lagavulin range since 1988.

A classic Scotch whisky, Lagavulin’s 16 year old is a benchmark malt from Islay’s south coast. This is perhaps more smoky than peaty, and has a wonderful flavour that pertains to Lapsang Souchong tea…

TASTING NOTE
NOSE
One of the smokiest noses from Islay. It’s big very very concentrated, and redolent of iodine, sweet spices, good, mature Sherry and creamy vanilla.

PALATE
Very thick and rich. A massive mouthful of malt and Sherry with good fruity sweetness, but also a wonderful sweetness. Big, powerful peat and oak

FINISH
Long, spicy finish, figs, dates, peat smoke, vanilla.
