Tasting Notes

Nose

Vivid peat, citrus, a bright maritime character. The youth gives the peat an energy and intensity that the mellower 16 cannot match. Beneath the smoke, lemon, honey and a clean malty sweetness. Vibrant and exciting.

Palate

Peated and vivid — smoke, citrus, a bright maritime character. The eight years present Lagavulin's peat at its most energetic and least mellow. Mid-palate brings smoked honey, a gentle warmth and a clean malty brightness. At 48%, excellent presence. A different Lagavulin — younger, brighter, more assertive.

Finish

Long, with vivid peat and a bright, maritime energy.

Expert Review

8.2/10

Young Lagavulin at higher proof — more vivid and brash than the standard 16, with peat at its most energetic.
