Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a warm mahogany undertone.

Nose

Citrusy, grassy notes mingle with classic BBQ smoke, delivering a bright, coastal freshness that feels noticeably fresher than the 16.

Palate

On the palate it is mouth-watering, with coastal salt and hay and a bright swirl of orange zest. A developing sweetness reveals milk chocolate notes (more evident in younger Lagavulins) and toffee fudge, lending creamy, indulgent depth.

Finish

Dry and persistent, with woody smoke that lingers on the palate, a coastal finish that slowly fades.

Lagavulin
(laga-VOO-lin) Lagavulin was officially founded in 1816 by John Johnston on Islay’s south coast near Port Ellen, though records suggest illicit distilling on the site as far back as the 1740s. Peter Mackie later became one of the most important figures in its history, using Lagavulin as a key part of White Horse and building the short-lived Malt Mill distillery within the grounds in 1908. Malt Mill was later absorbed back into Lagavulin, adding one of the more unusual chapters in the distillery’s history.
