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.

Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most single malts are matured longer).

Tasting Notes
Appearance / Color
Golden syrup.

Nose / Aroma / Smell
Intense peat and vanilla on the nose with a lovely dance of sweetness and smoke.

Flavor / Taste / Palate
Clear and grassy malt with an explosion of peaty smoke. A salt tang flows into coffee flows into vanilla.

Finish
Ridiculously long, fruity and peaty.

The very best

Spectacularly smooth sherry casked peat malt

Love this as an alternative to 16.
 
guest

Fantastic flavor, the smoke doesn’t hit too hard.
 
Scott
Scott,
Not as rich as the 16, but very drinkable

Delicious
 
Bill
Bill,
The fruit finish on this one(2018 bottling) doesn't seem to be as pronounced as the last bottle(2014) that I had, but still smooth and complex. It's a toss up as to whether this or the Aberlour a'bunadh is my current favorite whiskey.
 
David
David,
I’m not sure if I like this expression or the traditional 16 year better. Both are terrific smoky sweet explosions, but the PX cask finish adds a deep fruit flavor which comes out a lot more than in the 16 YO. Not a super long finish in my opinion, but nice and peaty nonetheless. A fantastic dram and one I will continue to savor.
 
Mike
Mike,
For me this is about as close to perfect as you can get. It has a sherry taste along with smoke and nicely balanced, it’s one of my go-to’s.
 
guest
guest,
Perfect peaty scotch.
 
James
James,
Perfectly peet! It’s smoky on the nose and ends with a buttery finish.
 
Aaron
Aaron,
Sublime peat, chocolate, honey.
 
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
 
Brice
Brice,
Great whiskey. By far smoother than I expected and great flavor.

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
Andrew,
savoring every bit to the point where I don't want to finish the bottle because then I'll be out!
 
Cody
Cody,
Love the robust yet subtle flavor. Smooth with a slight bite at the end.

Torey
Torey,
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.

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
 
Ryan

This is my all time favorite
 
guest

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.
 
guest
guest,
truly a gem

Great spirit more barrel influence than in the traditional 16.
