The Islay contribution to the 'Classic Malts' collection is profound, arid, and extraordinarily smoky. Lagavulin stands out as arguably the most intensely peaty whisky from Islay, not for the timid, yet it commands a zealous cult following among its admirers.

NOSE: This whisky boasts a robust flavor profile, with a heavy presence of peat smoke intermingling with iodine and seaweed, underscored by a profound, rich sweetness.

PALATE: Upon tasting, a potent yet refined sweetness emerges, cloaked in dry peat smoke, which is soon accompanied by maritime notes and hints of salt, intense sherry, toffee, interspersed with the essence of seasoned timber.

FINISH: The finish lingers substantially, characterized by a sophisticated tapestry of peat, complemented by enduring notes of salt and the briny tang of seaweed.
