TASTING NOTES - NOSE: Satisfying and enticing; intense peat, vanilla. A raisiny sweetness checks the smoke. Crisp, roasty malt. PALATE: Sweet and luscious; clear malt, smoke fills the mouth. Very salty tang; coffee, vanilla, a glimmer of fruit. FINISH: Incredibly long, even for Islay. Fruit, peat, and long-lasting oak. Very engaging and enjoyable

HOW IT'S MADE - The definitive Islay malt—intensely flavoured, smoky and rich. The windswept Isle of Islay instils a strength of character into everything it produces and it's here, nestled in a small bay that the beloved Lagavulin whisky has been made for over 200 years
