Lagavulin 8 Year Old
Whiskey created to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Lagavulin distillery by John Johnston in 1816. This eight-year-old unique has a huge power of smoke and spice, which are beautifully complemented by sweet spices. The whiskey was inspired by the visit of Alfred Barnard (distillery and historian) to the distillery in the 1980s, when he tried to create an extremely fine eight-year-old whiskey.
Aroma : ground black pepper and aromatic wood, fresh tones of orange and lemon peel. Pleasant aromas of hearths, hot shells with a hint of smoked meat. A drop of water in the whiskey will bring the scent of peach and green apple.
Taste : woody tones of coffee blend with crunchy oatmeal and honey fruit. Traces of tobacco and spices.
Conclusion : peat with a characteristic smoky phenolic taste
