About this product
The Peat Lover’s Benchmark.
Few whiskies command the respect of Lagavulin 16 Year Old. Born on the rugged shores of Islay, this iconic single malt has become a rite of passage for lovers of smoky drams. Its peat smoke is deep, almost elemental, balanced by rich maritime character and a luxurious sherry sweetness. For decades, it has been the bottle that whisky enthusiasts in Ireland seek out when they want a true taste of Scotland’s wild coast—a dram to be savoured slowly, like the ocean’s tide against the shore.
Why we love it:
Lagavulin 16 is more than a whisky—it’s a statement. Intense, smoky, and unashamedly bold, yet underpinned by layers of complexity that unfold sip by sip. It’s the perfect fireside companion during an Irish winter, and an unforgettable choice for slow, reflective evenings with good company.
