Lagavulin White Horse Distillers Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1 Litre) 16 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with coppery flashes and a burnished gold glow.

Nose

Peat-smoked with maritime iodine and sea-salt breeze, opening to a lush halo of sherry fruit: dried fig, raisin, and treacle. Rich vanilla and cocoa mingle with resinous oak, while hints of leather and toasted almond lend depth, all carried on a saline, mineral backbone that promises an enduring, smoky finish.

Palate

On the palate, Islay peat envelops the tongue in a disciplined maritime smoke, tempered by sherry sweetness—fig, raisin and dark chocolate. Velvety and full-bodied, with leather, orange zest, and a warm maltiness weaving through the smoke. Briny sea notes and oak spice emerge, finishing long with lacquered peat, cocoa, and a gentle, lingering warmth.

Finish

Long, maritime and smoky, with a briny edge of sea salt and iodine. Sherry-cask nuance threads through a gentle sweetness of dried fruit and dark chocolate, giving way to a resinous ember-peat that lingers, warmed by oak and finishing dry and elegantly long.
