Lagavulin 8-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Description

Lagavulin 8-Year-Old is a powerful dram that exemplifies the Islay style.

Aroma

Dominated by intense peat smoke with hints of iodine, seaweed, and brine. Subtle notes of toasted nuts and treacle toffee add complexity.

Palate

A wave of intense smoke explodes on the palate, followed by surprising sweetness of orchard fruits and hints of spice. Salty notes reminiscent of sea spray mingle with the smokiness. The influence of the recharred casks comes through with a touch of oak and vanilla.

Finish

Long and lingering, with the smoky flavors slowly fading to reveal a touch of sweetness and spice. A hint of drying wood and ash lingers on the tongue.
