<p>Lagavulin 16 Year Old Single Islay Malt Whisky, ScotlandProducer Tasting Note:APPEARANCE: Deep amber gold. BODY: A long, elegant peat-filled finish with lots of salt and seaweed. NOSE: Intensely flavoured, peat smoke with iodine and seaweed and a rich, deep sweetness. PALATE: Dry peat smoke fills the palate with a gentle but strong sweetness, followed by sea and salt with touches of wood. FINISH: A long, elegant peat-filled finish with lots of salt and seaweed.Revered by connoisseurs and experts, Lagavulin is known as “the king of Islay”. Aged in oak casks for at least 16 years, this much sought-after Single Malt has the massive peat-smoke flavour that’s typical of southern Islay, while also offering richness and a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting dram.Critics’ Tasting Notes:”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.”92/100 points, WINE ENTHUSIAST”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!”93/100 points, WHISKY ADVOCATE, 2020Also awarded GOLD at Tasting Awards – International Spirits Challenge, 2025 and GOLD at San Francisco World Spirits Competition, 2025Lagavulin 16 Year Old Lagavulin from Fraziers Wine Merchants</p>
