Lagavulin 8 Year Old is a tribute to the timeless craftsmanship of Islay’s most revered distilleries. Originally released in celebration of Lagavulin’s 200th anniversary, this exceptional single malt showcases the distillery’s unmistakable smoky character in a fresher, more vibrant form.
The nose opens with an intense wave of maritime peat smoke, intertwined with fresh citrus zest, vanilla, and hints of green apple. On the palate, it is lively yet complex—sweet malt and lemon merge beautifully with black pepper spice and a deep, warming smokiness. The finish is long, clean, and satisfyingly smoky, leaving an unforgettable impression that captures the essence of Islay.
Crafted using traditional methods and matured for eight years in oak casks, this whisky delivers a bold yet balanced drinking experience that appeals to both long-time Islay fans and adventurous newcomers.
