More From Lagavulin
Lagavulin 8 Year Old
Before the famous Lagavulin 16, there was the Lagavulin 8. The series was eventually discontinued until it was reintroduced in 2016 to mark the 200th anniversary of Lagavulin. Since then it has become a popular staple of the distillery loved by many fans. The younger whisky carries more of the distillery's distinctive smoky profile, resulting in a refined and delectable Islay experience.
70cl ⋅ 48.00%£59.95 / Bottle£49.96 excl. VAT / Bottle Lagavulin 26 Year Old 1994 – Special Releases 2021
The oldest single malt in Diageo's 2021 Special Releases, this mature Lagavulin was aged in a combination of first-fill Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry-seasoned casks. It's not often we see bottlings like this from Lagavulin, but this expression is something remarkable, offering notes of pungent smoke and salted caramel with lashings of dried fruit and cured meats, all balanced wonderfully in harmony.

70cl ⋅ 56.50%£4,500.00 / Bottle£3,750 excl. VAT / Bottle Lagavulin 12 Year Old – Special Releases 2023
Though always a highly regarded Islay whisky, Lagavulin has enjoyed a skyrocketing rise in popularity in recent years, resulting in even the more common expressions becoming increasingly difficult to source. This 2023 Special Release Lagavulin will be a particular point of excitement for the growing fanbase of the distillery, as it is the first time the whisky has ever been matured in ex-Tequila casks. This extra maturation in Don Julio Añejo tequila casks has accentuated the raw smoky properties of the already pungent whisky, leading to thick herbal smoke and dark plum notes in the resulting whisky.

Lagavulin 12 Year Old – Special Release 2022
Ever wondered how Islay whisky got its smoke? Diageo’s legend of The Flames of the Pheonix paints a colourful story. The day the King of Islay was reborn, a spark fell from the sky, setting Islay ablaze. From the thick smoke, a regal phoenix soared to the skies, powering the stills of Lagavulin with its wings.
This 12-year-old expression of Lagavulin comes from some of the distillery’s smokiest reserves. Initially filled into peaty casks, before a second maturation in virgin oak. The nose is akin to walking into a seaside bakery, with smouldering bonfires on the beach, alongside light notes coconut & citrus. Salted toffee and orchard fruits appear immediately on the palate, followed by underripe bananas and drying spice. Bottled at 57.3% ABV.
