Scotch Whisky Islay Single Malt 16 YO, Lagavulin
The aristocrat of Islay. A legendary single malt aged for 16 years, world-renowned for its intense, enveloping peat smoke, balanced by deep sherry sweetness and maritime notes.
Scotch Whisky Islay Single Malt 16 YO, Lagavulin
Lagavulin 16 is a powerful and velvety experience. The nose is dominated by thick peat smoke, seaweed, and a dried fruit sweetness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich: the initial explosion of smoke and salt gives way to hints of sherry, vanilla, and black tea. The finish is monumental: incredibly long, spicy, and with a lingering return of peat and noble oak.
TECHNICAL PROFILE
· Producer:Lagavulin Distillery
· Origin:Scozia

· Glass:Glencairn or tulip-shaped glass
USES & PAIRING
