Current price $83.90, $78.87 after 6% cashback from Cash Rewards.

This peaty Single Malt dates back to 1816, when John Johnston and Archibald Campbell each constructed a distillery on what today is the Lagavulin site. After Johnston died, Campbell consolidated the two, before selling it to malt merchant Alexander Graham. Today it continues to uphold the traditions of its past, using meticulous preparation to create powerful whisky. Their signature 16 year old malt has a strong peat, smoke and seaweed nose that is followed by a nutty complexity and light fruitiness. In the mouth characters of Charcoal, dry woodiness and iodine followed by chilli chocolate and a hint of toffee.

    Charcoal, dry woodiness and iodine

    How can I resist !!!

      I tried blending charcoal, dry wood and iodine and it tastes nothing like Lagavulin. Probably should have added some peat and seaweed?

      However if you put salt and pepper on hot buttered toast it tastes like a toasted chicken sandwich!

      @JV

      It's all carbon molecules and lots of them are already in your body. Resistance is futile.

      This is the only decent deal here.

      Lagavulin is discounted too often these days. Needs to be <$70 for a bargain.

      • Limitless on 23/10/2015 - 10:12

        Does seem a bit pricey, is it any good? Looking for a whisky for my partners birthday but don't know what to look for!

          It all depends on whether your partner likes his or her whisky with a smoky note. If so, this is an excellent choice as it offers quite a lot of complex notes besides smoke, peat and sea salt. Otherwise, you should consider a whisky from the Highlands or Speyside or Japan.

          If you know he likes peated whiskies/Islay malts (like laphroaig, ardbeg, talisker etc) then its a good whisky. If you're not sure, DO NOT BUY IT. Peated malts have a very specific taste that people either love or really hate.

          If you can name some whiskies your partner likes it would be easier to recommend some single malts for their palate.

          It is delicious but I would not pay over $80 a bottle. It's the best scotch taste/value wise IMO but still too expensive.

          @EarlyBird: Yeah, @lkp, get them a Craggenmore. Good price and appeals to a wider audience.

        • Limitless on 23/10/2015 - 16:33

          @cymon: thanks for the tips everyone :) I might have to do a bit more research before buying by the sounds of things!

  • simulacrum on 23/10/2015 - 09:32

    Crackin whisky for the peat lovers out there.

    Not worth the money you are better of getting 18 year old Chivas which is currently on special for $74.95 less CC

    • simulacrum on 23/10/2015 - 14:12

      Very different dram there.

      Can't really say the Chivas is a better deal just because the age statement is two years higher. Firstly its a blended whisky. Secondly its not peated, so wouldn't appeal to the someone looking for an smokey whisky.

      • bion83 on 23/10/2015 - 14:20

        I'm not saying that by buying older whiskey you're getting better whiskey but from my experience Chivas just does better for me than Lagavulin.

        FYI I only use whisky for Burnt Orange Old Fashioned, never mix it or have it straight

        • simulacrum on 23/10/2015 - 15:21

          Fair enough, and given the niche appeal of peated whiskies, you're probably right for most people.

          There's a few good single malts in the under $80 range.. Old Pultenay or Dalwhinnie spring to mind for gentle Highland malts. If you're into something heavier and fruitier theres the Glendronach 12 and a few Glenrothes that fall in this range too.
