Lagavulin 8 Year Old Single Malt Islay Scotch Whisky

Peat, Power, and Precocious Depth

Lagavulin 8 Year Old is a whisky born from a remarkable piece of history — a recreation of the style that Alfred Barnard described when he visited the distillery in 1887, noting that the whisky was typically aged for just eight years. Released to celebrate the distillery's 200th anniversary, this expression proves that Lagavulin's legendary peated character needs no great age to make a profound impression. At just eight years old, it delivers the full force of Islay's most powerful distillery in a form that is raw, vibrant, and utterly captivating.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Bold and immediate — intense peat smoke, sea salt, and iodine with a surprising sweetness of vanilla and ripe fruit underneath, and a youthful energy that crackles with life
• Palate: Rich and powerful — dark fruit, toffee, and a massive peat smoke with a warming spice and a maritime salinity that coats the palate with Islay's unmistakable character
• Finish: Long and smoky with lingering peat, sea salt, and a clean, warming fade that speaks to the distillery's extraordinary spirit
