"Exceptionally fine"was how illustrious whisky chronicler,Alfred Barnard,describe the Lagavulin 8 Year Old expression he sampled during an 1886 visit to the distillery.
In homage to Lagavulin's timeless ability to produce exceptional malts,this is a reinterpretation of the 8 year old from Barnard's era.
The nose is immediately soft with clean,fresh notes partnering faint hints of milk chocolate and lemon,then develops fragrant tea-scented smoke alongside nose-drying,maritime aromas,with subtle cereal.
The palate is light in texture,with a magnificently full-on Lagavulin taste that's even bigger than you may expect ; sweet,smoky and warming,with a growing pungency,then dry,with more smoke.
