About this product
The Peat Lover’s Benchmark.
Lagavulin 16 Year Old is a legendary single malt that defines the very essence of Islay whisky — smoky, intense, and deeply complex. Matured for sixteen slow years on the windswept shores of Scotland’s west coast, this whisky captures the spirit of the island in every drop. From the first sip, it envelops you in a world of peat smoke, sea spray, and rich sherry sweetness, delivering one of the most unmistakable flavour experiences in Scotch.
Full-bodied and profoundly layered, Lagavulin 16 opens with aromas of campfire smoke, dried fruit, and seaweed, leading into a palate of smoky malt, sweet caramel, oak spice, and hints of iodine and dark chocolate. The finish is long, warming, and unforgettable — a perfect balance between peat intensity and smooth sherry richness.
For whisky lovers in Ireland, Lagavulin 16 Year Old stands as a must-have — a whisky that’s not just tasted, but felt. It’s the embodiment of rugged coastlines, ocean winds, and the timeless craftsmanship that makes Islay whiskies so revered.
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.
