Lagavulin 16

Lagavulin is one of the most respected peated whiskies in the world. It defines the bold character of Islay single malts—intensely smoky, deeply complex, and wonderfully balanced after 16 years of slow aging.

This whisky is matured in oak casks for at least sixteen years, allowing the smoke and maritime notes to mellow and intertwine with rich, earthy sweetness. It’s a dram with presence, made for those who enjoy big flavors and deep aromas.

On the nose, Lagavulin 16 greets you with intense peat smoke, followed by dried seaweed, iodine, and a soft, underlying sweetness. Hints of sherry, leather, and wood polish add even more depth.

The palate is bold and full-bodied. Waves of smoke come first, but are quickly joined by dark chocolate, dried fruit, and rich malt. Notes of salty brine, oak spice, and a touch of sweetness create a perfectly layered experience.

The finish is famously long, dry, and smoky, with subtle hints of sea salt and dark toffee. It lingers beautifully—complex and satisfying till the very end.

Lagavulin 16 is not just a whisky; it’s an experience. It captures the wild coastal spirit of Islay in every drop. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its full range of flavors.
