Product Details

Code: LAGA002

Lagavulin is a distillery on the southern shore of the Inner Hebridean island of Islay. It is noted for producing a heavily peated single malt whisky with strong iodine overtones. The name is Scots Gaelic for "the hollow by the mill". Built in 1816, the distillery is one of three well-known producers along the coast between the villages of Port Ellen and Kildalton, the others being Ardbeg and Laphroaig. Lagavulin is a powerfully flavored malt and the house style prompts flavor descriptors like seaweed, brine, iodine, medicine, and tar. It is owned by Diageo's United Distillers subsidiary.

Salted popcorn, honey-roasted nuts, tarry ropes and light hints of freshly-chopped cedar. A touch of burnt sugar sweetness lingers. Smokey peat appears first on the palate, followed by coriander seed, barley sugar, cumin powder, smoked kipper and marzipan. Layers of apple crumble, toasted almond and ash. Another kick of cooking spices right at the end.
