Product Description

Lagavulin 16 Year Old is the pinnacle of Islay whisky, known for its powerful peat smoke, rich complexity, and depth. Crafted since 1816, it is regarded as one of the most iconic single malts in the world. Hailing from the Lagavulin Distillery, located on the southern coast of Islay, this whisky embodies the island’s rugged spirit. The distillery’s distinctive coastal location means that the whisky captures the essence of sea spray, iodine, and the intense, earthy peat smoke that defines the region.

Lagavulin 16 is renowned for its richness and complexity. On the nose, it reveals intense peat smoke, accompanied by hints of iodine, seaweed, and a deep, sweet undertone. The palate is robust, with the characteristic peat smoke balanced by a gentle sweetness, maritime notes of salt and wood, and a touch of sea air. The finish is long and powerful, with lingering peat smoke, salt, and seaweed, making it the definitive Islay dram. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, this whisky is a benchmark for those who appreciate a bold, smoky Scotch.

A perfect gift for whisky lovers, Lagavulin 16 Year Old is an expression of Islay’s bold spirit and a must-have for any whisky collection.
