Lagavulin 8 Year Old Whisky, 70 cl

Details

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. Inspired by the visit of Alfred Barnard to the distillery in the 1880s when he tried an ‘exceptionally fine’ eight-year-old from the distillery, this is a fitting tribute for the milestone. With a light body that becomes pleasantly oily, the Lagavulin 8 Year Old palate boasts a magnificently full-on Lagavulin taste that’s somehow even bigger than you expect. The clean, long finish is subtle with minted smoke and warming chocolate notes. The limited edition, beautifully pristine presentation box makes it the perfect gift for lovers of peaty and powerful whiskies

Product Description

Lagavulin is one of the smokiest and most intense whiskies in the world. And it has even more richness to offer through deep sweetness and notes of dried. Situated in the romantic location of the beautiful island of Islay, the Lagavulin distillery lies on its Southern coast and looks onto Dunyvaig Castle. Rugged and intoxicating are just a couple of words I’d use to describe this fascinating and yet tiny island.

Tasting Notes

Magnificently full on.
