Nose: Sweet with notes of milk chocolate and lemon, smoked tea, maritime aromas, soot. With water, becomes extremely fruity with a trace of red fruit jam and its smoky side coming through strongly.
Taste: Light and full-bodied texture at once, smoky then dry. Minty dark chocolate, salty. Water rounds things out and makes the taste even more powerful and succulent and sweet and spicy.
Finish: Beautiful, clean, very long with mentholated smoke.
Launched to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Lagavulin distillery by John Johnston in 1816, this eight-year-old single malt Scotch whisky is balanced and smoky. A celebration of the people and craftsmanship that have made Lagavulin great over the past two centuries, its tea-scented smoke and nose-drying maritime aromas are released with just a drop of water. Inspired by Alfred Barnard's visit to the distillery in the 1880s, when he tasted an 'exceptionally fine' eight-year-old wine from the distillery, it's a fitting tribute to this milestone.
This 17-year-old single malt is truly unusual. For the first time, it has been aged exclusively in American oak Hogshead casks. This gives it a spring-like, fruity, honeyed and sweet character.
