Lagavulin 18 Year Old Feis Ile 2016

Lagavulin Distillery, nestled on the rugged island of Islay in Scotland's Inner Hebrides, crafts whisky with a distinctive style that defies subtlety. Characterized by earthy smoke and savory undertones, Lagavulin's malted masterpieces are often considered a benchmark for peated whiskies worldwide. This 18-year-old expression, released to commemorate the distillery's bicentennial, boasts a natural cask strength of 49.5% ABV, skillfully assembled from refill American oak and European oak bodega sherry butts. The resulting whisky presents a complex tapestry of smoky, spicy, and sweet notes, with hints of salted caramel and fruit that unfold on the palate.
