Lagavulin 16 Year Old is a rich, heavily peated Islay single malt with a distinctive balance of smoke, sweetness and maritime character. Iodine, seaweed and salt give it a coastal edge, while a deep sweetness rounds out the palate.
Its full body carries substantial flavour, combining dry peat smoke with gentle wood notes. The finish is long and persistent, leaving smoke and sea salt lingering after each sip.
Matured for at least sixteen years, it suits drinkers who enjoy powerful, smoky whisky with richness and a pronounced dry character.
Tasting notes:
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.
