Overview

Lagavulin 16 is an intense, smoky-sweet single malt with seaweed flavors and a huge finish, aged in oak casks for at least 16 years. It has a strong peat-smoke that's typical of southern Islay but also offers a dryness that makes it a truly interesting dram.

Tasting notes

Lagavulin is a classic example of how smoke isn't a blunt instrument that covers everything in a fog, but an element that works with all the flavours produced in distillation and maturation. Lagavulin isn't 'smokey,' its peat moves into a weird territory of Lapsang Souchong tea and pipe tobacco, fishboxes and kippers. It smells of laurel and light cereal, but is always sweet. The palate shows more creosote, with hints of kelp and a little touch of iodine. Complex.
