GIFTING: The perfect gift for everyone from whisky enthusiasts to whisky connoisseurs.Lagavulin is one of the smokiest and most intense whiskies in the world. Since 1816. Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been made in a picturesque huddle of buildings on Lagavulin Bay looking onto Dunyvaig castle. Revered by connoisseurs and experts, Lagavulin is known as ""the King of Islay"". It is an 'essential' Scotch Whisky that any connoisseur or enthusiast must have in their collection one of the world's favourite Malt Whiskies. On the nose, this full-bodied Single Malt has intensely flavoured, peat smoke with iodine and seaweed and a rich, deep sweetness. The palate is filled with dry peat smoke, presenting a gentle but strong sweetness, followed by sea and salt with touches of wood. Its finish is long, elegant and peat-filled with lots of salt and seaweed. A much sought-after Single Malt with massive peat-smoke that's typical of southern Islay - but also offering richness and a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting dram. The 16 Year Old has become a benchmark Islay dram from the Lagavulin distillery. Best enjoyed from a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little still water. A gift for all occasions for lovers of peaty and powerful whiskies.UNIQUE FEATURES: Lagavulin 16 Year Old has always been considered the epitome of Islay Single Malts.
