Lagavulin Islay Single Malt 16 Year Old

Description

The distillery’s flagship bottling, Lagavulin 16 Year Old, was released when Diageo debuted the Classic Malt series in the 1980s, replacing the original 12-year-old expression. A highly sought-after single malt Scotch whisky with the distinctive huge peat-smoke of southern Islay, but also rich and dry enough to make it a genuinely intriguing drink. The 16-year-old Lagavulin dram from the Lagavulin distillery has established itself as a standard Islay dram. Lagavulin’s 16-year-old is a benchmark malt from the south coast of Islay, a quintessential Scotch whisky. This has a great flavour that is related to Lapsang Souchong tea, albeit it may be more smoky than peaty.
