Lagavulin 8 Year Old

Product Description

Lagavulin 8 Year Old is a single malt Scotch whisky produced by the Lagavulin Distillery on the island of Islay in Scotland. The distillery is known for producing heavily peated whiskies, and the 8 Year Old expression is aged for 8 years, which is shorter than the distillery's flagship 16 Year Old expression. The whisky is aged in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, it is non-chill filtered and bottled at a higher strength (48% ABV) than the standard bottling. The whisky is described as having a rich and powerful flavor profile, with notes of peat smoke, seaweed, and dark chocolate, with a hint of dried fruit and a sweetness, balanced with a gentle spice. The finish is long, warming and smoky. The Lagavulin 8 Year Old is considered a good representation of the distillery's style of producing heavily peated whiskies and it's highly recommended to be enjoyed neat or with a drop of water. Lagavulin 8 Year Old is considered a widely available expression and it's considered a great value for the price. It's considered a good introduction to the Islay style of whisky, and it's a good option for those who are looking for a rich and smoky single malt whisky. It's considered a core expression of the distillery and it's widely distributed. It's a good representation of the distillery's style in a more accessible and affordable format, it has a good balance of smokiness and complexity, and it's a great option for those looking for a young, yet rich and flavorful whisky.
