Lagavulin 8 year old, Single Malt Scotch Whisky

700 ml, 48.0% abv, Scotland (Islay)

Originally released to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of Lagavulin distillery by John Johnston in 1816, it was so popular that it is now part of Lagavulin’s core range.   Big and smoky, with sweet spice.

Bottled at 48% abv.

“Long and peaty – and a much sweeter, fresher peat smoke than the Lagavulin 16” (ausbt.com.au)

Description

Nose : Immediately quite soft with clean, fresh notes, faint hints of milk chocolate and lemon – developing fragrant, tea-scented smoke alongside nose-drying, maritime aromas.

Palate : A magnificently full on Lagavulin taste that’s somehow even bigger than you expect, and charred, with minty, dark chocolate.

Finish : A clean, long and smoky finish – subtle, minted smoke, chocolate tannins and finally warming, leaving the palate dry as sweet smoke lingers on the breath.
