The Lagavulin 16 Year Old is a highly sought-after single malt whisky, celebrated for its massive peat-smoke that is characteristic of southern Islay. This whisky offers a richness and dryness that make it a truly intriguing tipple. Bottled in the 1990s by White Horse Distillers, this 16-year-old gem has achieved iconic status and was The Runner Up in TWE's Whisky of the Year in both 2014 and 2015, as well as a Silver Outstanding Medal Winner at the International Wine & Spirits Competition.
Produced at the esteemed Lagavulin distillery in the Islay region, this whisky has been meticulously aged in oak casks, establishing itself as a benchmark Islay dram. The nose delivers a powerful punch of turf smoke, complemented by maritime saltiness, hints of dried fruits such as raisins and figs, and a background sweetness of vanilla and toffee.
On the palate, the whisky reveals its full-bodied and rich character. The peat smoke and fruit flavors evolve into layers of dark chocolate, leather, with subtle hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. The finish is long and persistent, with the smoke gradually fading to reveal a light bitterness of oak and a sweet, almost biscuity aftertaste that leaves the palate clean and refreshed.
This rare White Horse bottling of Lagavulin 16 Year Old is a true collector's item. It embodies a distinctive and powerful Islay malt, deeply smoky and peaty with a velvety, complex finish. While the packaging may show some signs of wear, this has been taken into account in determining the price.
