A classic Islay Malt, One of the great Islay producers. The barley used to distil Lagavulin is malted at nearby Port Ellen and has a strong peat aroma - it has perhaps twenty times as much exposure to peat smoke as a typical Speyside.
One for the peat fanciers, this Islay benchmark is big and powerful. Iodine and smoke dominate sweet spice aromas while vanilla and oak character develops on the palate. Mouth coating and muscular, this brute finishes long, dry and smoky.
Ron Swanson approves this deal.
