Lagavulin 16-Year-Old is the distillery’s flagship expression, routinely hailed as one of the world’s best officially bottled single malts. But Lagavulin isn’t a one-trick pony. It also offers an annual Distiller’s Edition release aged in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, an annual vintage-dated 12-year-old release, and the recently added eight-year-old expression, which was released in honor of the distillery’s 200th anniversary but has stuck around for at least another year. Nevertheless, it’s the 16-year-old that keeps the lights on at Lagavulin for good reason.

A much sought-after single malt with the massive peat-smoke that’s typical of southern Islay – but also offering richness and a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting tipple. The 16 year old has truly become a benchmark Islay dram from the Lagavulin distillery.

If you’re looking for a food pairing for this beauty, try intensely flavored salty blue cheeses, which complement the intense, peat rich, sweet and salty character of this Lagavulin wonderfully.

The Islay representative in the ‘Classic Malts’ series is a deep, dry, and exceptionally peaty bruiser. Probably the most pungent of all Islay malts, Lagavulin is not for the faint-hearted but inspires fanatical devotion in its many followers.

One of the richest Scotches in existence, the Lagavulin 16-year comes through with strong elements of oak and peat, balanced with notes of crisp fruit and dried figs. The finish is particularly long and drawn-out with a lingering spice to give you pause for thought.

Nose:

More like Lapsang Souchong tea than Lapsang Souchong! 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. Stunning.

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.
