Lagavulin 8yo Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Discover the roaring intensity of Lagavulin 8‑Year‑Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky , a bold maritime masterpiece from the famed Islay distillery, bottled at 48% ABV to commemorate its bicentenary and now a permanent delight in their core range .

This expression is matured solely in refill American and European oak casks, delivering Lagavulin’s signature dense peat smoke and surefire quality at a younger age. 48% ABV hits the balance for complex flavour without overwhelming heat; delivers core Lagavulin style in a more accessible and wallet-friendly format. Try with smoked salmon, briny oysters, blue cheese, or hearty grilled dishes.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Clear, pale straw , almost ethereal 

Nose: Explosive kippery peat and cold campfire with fresh, grainy notes of toasted multigrain bread drizzled in clover honey; rich briny salt, ripe pear, dried apricot, subtle hay, tea-scented smoke, sea spray, and a hint of citrus zest 

Palate: Full-throttle smoky intensity—extinguished campfire embers and iodine sweetness ride alongside malt, toffee, caramel, pan-fried mushrooms, and a touch of vanilla 

Finish: Long, dry, ashy with lingering salty smoke, spicy oak, brown sugar, pepper, and a whisper of dark chocolate
