What does it taste like?

Lagavulin 16 is deeply smoky, full-bodied and oak-led. Its clearest signposts are deep peat smoke, dried fruit, sea salt. The profile is not a laboratory measurement; it is a practical way to compare its direction with other whiskeys.

How to approach it

Take a small neat sip first and give the smoke time. A few drops of water may reveal citrus, sweetness and malt behind the peat.
