Lagavulin 16 Year Old Islay Single Malt Whisky
SKU #500679
A gorgeous amber color. Aromas are smoky and consist of some spring flower. On the palate sweet, and finishes darkly with smoky pears.

WHISKY ADVOCATE RATING: 93
WHISKY ADVOCATE REVIEW:
This has been Lagavulin’s principal expression for more than 30 years. Iodine, rich peat, and caramel on the early nose, with sherry, sea salt, and charcuterie. The oily, briny palate offers peat and a medicinal note, along with black tea, Seville orange, toffee, cinnamon, and a hint of smoked fish. Peat embers and hot tar in the lengthy, spicy finish. Deeply satisfying!
WINE ENTHUSIAST RATING: 90 - 95
WINE ENTHUSIAST REVIEW: Soy sauce, olive brine, peat, honey, oloroso Sherry, brewer’s yeast, bread dough, barley malt and cigar smoke in the bouquet. The flavor that magically includes the innate intense peatiness of Islay malts and the masterly employment of oak barrels phase defines “classy Islay.” Concludes sweetly, without sacrificing the tangy, astringent peatiness that is inherent. Gorgeous.
Located near the south coast of Islay, Lagavulin stands near the ruins of Dunyveg Castle.
