The boldest and most badass Whisky of all time.

If you ever wondered where Lagavulin got its name, it's pretty straightforward: it's the name of the bay near one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. Since then, the lavish and peaty water that runs down the nearby hills has been the blood of the distillery and its Whiskies.

While Lagavulin is known for pretty awesome expressions, this time they outdid themselves and created a Single Malt so intense and smoky, Bruce Willis called and asked if he can be its sidekick. The Lagavulin's peated barley has 20 times more exposure to peat smoke - it's like an office in Mad Men - and the Whisky is distilled twice, for 14 hours in total. This unbelievably smoky Spirit is then aged for 16 years in old school oak casks, and after that, it gets a fine PX Sherry finish. We don't know about you, but just writing this makes our mouth water. It's sweet caramel, vanilla and dates with a healthy dose of smoke. It's so intense you'll wear a knowing grin for a week.

Leah
Leah,
All you get is smoke. From the nose to the lingering mouth.
 
Ivan
Ivan,
To my taste, a softer and rounder Lagavulin 16. The peat was a little bit less than the 16, with very slightly more sweetness. Side by side with the 16, this was was smoother. Definitely my new favorite.
 
Dave
Dave,
It had a lot of the traits of lagavulin 16 but it had a sweet finishers te XO casks. It is a fireplace scotch that my family will enjoy at thanksgiving
 
Scott
Scott,
Wow. You have to really like the taste of salted peat. I am not among these group, but wish those aficionados well. Rest assured in the confidence I am not consuming your booze.

Beautiful Smokey bite.
 
Steve
Steve,
Fantastic.
 
Charles
Charles,
Excellent dram. Although I may prefer the standard issue 16yo over this expression. This has a bit too much sweetness and iodine that challenges the peat. I think if they sold it at 46% or higher it would be perfect.

Michael,
Couldn’t be better

Perfect amount of peated and smoky. One of the best. Fills the room with aromas of the Isle of Islay.
 
Bradley
Bradley,
Little heavier than the 16 year but very good
 
Daniel
Daniel,
Good, but the 16 yr is better for the money.
 
Michael
Michael,
The sherry cuts the peat in a pleasant way...but if you love the peat of lagavulin nothing beats the classic 16 year offering.
 
Aaron
Aaron,
Absolutely stunning. You will not be let down by this dram
 
Timothy
Timothy,
I had to give this a perfect 10 because it is the first whiskey that I tried that was not a commercial whiskey. I love the smoky finish and smell.
 
Andrew

savoring every bit to the point where I don't want to finish the bottle because then I'll be out!

Very smooth, great flavors. One of the best scotches I've ever had.
 
Chris
Chris,
Magnificent. Every bit as delicious as the 16 but adds several dimensions of smoky goodness and has a more lasting finish. If you like the 16, you will love this.
 
Dennis
Dennis,
I love the smoky finish that last. Very smooth and amazing finish. I am very happy with this selection

It really is the premium pick for Lagavulin bottles!

My best scotch so far. Enchantingly sweet nose and an aftertaste that lingers on...

Even sweeter than the original.

Adds some lovely extra depth to my favorite Lagavulin 16.
 
Perry

Fantastic whiskey. The original is a favorite and this improves on it in a few areas
 
Justin

Solid Islay scotch; the PX adds just the right bit of sweetness. I've had better, but not at this availability.

Hands down best scotch

Very smooth. In my opinion 16 yr would be considered decedent however I think this edition doubles down.
 
Melville
Melville,
Love it. Less aggressive iodine than the 16
 
Rob
Rob,
My favorite! 1993-1995
 
guest
guest,
Amazing flavours, lovely peaty taste. As a newcomer to whisky I think I have been spoiled. This beauty knocked the Ardbeg 10 years off my cemented number 1.
 
pedro
pedro,
The first kick is a downer... Too salty perhaps? However the taste when in the mouth and, specially, the aftertaste, is very good. Not worth the price, but still a good whisky.
 
guest
guest,
I prefer the regular 16y old. But this is still an excellent single malt. Rich and lasting. Warm and relatively smooth for an Islay malt.
 
guest
guest,
Two shots of this straight up is just like Viagra definitely put the fire back in our bed.
 
Brad
Brad,
Strong smoke but not too much
 
Davi
Davi,
Definitely the best ,
 
Matt
Matt,
The best.
 
John
John,
This is my absolute favorite whisky. The complexity and lasting flavor of the finish always leaves me speechless for about five minutes after every sip. Lagavulin has perfected the combination of that classic Islay peat with the soft sharpness of the sherry casks.

truly a gem

Great spirit more barrel influence than in the traditional 16.
