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 ·Type:Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky ·Base:Lagavulin 16’s composition is defined by heavily peated malted barley and mineral-rich water from the Sollochs Lochs. Its signature roundness is achieved through the slowest distillation process on Islay, which creates a rich, oily spirit. The 16-year maturation in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks provides the essential balance between intense smoke, maritime saltiness, and deep dried-fruit sweetness. · ABV:43% SERVING GUIDE · Temperature:18-20°C · Glass:Glencairn or tulip-shaped glass USES & PAIRING · Tasting:A quintessential meditation whisky. Best enjoyed neat; adding a teaspoon of cool water can help open up the sweeter notes hidden beneath the smoke. ·Food pairing:Extraordinary with intense blue cheeses, extra dark chocolate, or smoked oysters.
