Lagavulin 8 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This single malt was released to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of Lagavulin Distillery by John Johnston in 1816. This eight-year-old is big and smoky, with sweet spice that becomes apparent with a drop of water.

• Nose of salted popcorn, honey-roasted nuts, smoky tar, and subtle notes of freshly cut cedar. A lingering hint of burnt sugar adds a touch of sweetness.
• Palate of bold smoky peat leads the way. Followed by coriander seed, barley sugar, cumin, smoked kipper, and a hint of marzipan.
• Lagavulin 8 Year Old Islay Scotch Whisky has a finish of layers of apple crumble, toasted almonds, and ash, with a final burst of warming spices.

Inspired by the visit of Alfred Barnard to the distillery in the 1880s when he tried an 'exceptionally fine' eight-year-old whisky from the distillery. This is a fitting tribute for the milestone.

This Islay whisky makes an exceptional pairing with rich charcuterie, smoked brisket, or blue cheese. It’s equally at home beside roasted nuts, salted dark chocolate or a dram enjoyed neat by a fireside.
