Lagavulin
Tasting Notes
Imagine a liquid that captures the essence of Islay's rugged coastline, where the salty sea breeze mingles with the earthy peat smoke. The Lagavulin 18 Year Old - Fèis Ìle 2016 is a masterpiece born from the distillery's 200-year legacy. Aged for nearly two decades in a harmonious marriage of European oak ex-bodega sherry butts and refill American oak hogsheads, this single malt whisky unveils layers of complexity. The sherry casks impart notes of rich fruitcake and dark chocolate, while the American oak lends a subtle vanilla sweetness. The peat smoke, a hallmark of Lagavulin, weaves through the flavors, creating a smoky, maritime character that transports you to the windswept shores of Islay. Each sip is a celebration of Scotch whisky's finest craftsmanship, meticulously selected by Iain McArthur to create a truly remarkable and collectable expression.
