Lagavulin 16 Year Old

Big, bold whisky

Always have this at my local, so thought i'd buy a bottle. Smokey, rich, still sweet though, just great balance. love it. from Brian,

A Unique and Classic Islay Malt!

At some stage in your journey through Single Malts you will try Lagavulin. It is an experience like no other. After tasting Lagga the rest have to be very good whiskies to remain in the memory! Smoke & peat rich with tastes of the Islay salt it is quite simply unique and treasured amongst Single Malts. Worth every penny!

The Classic Islay Single Malt

My introduction to single malts and still, by a nose, my favorite. It is Islay in a bottle - peaty, complex yet eminently drinkable. This is the yardstick to measure the wonders of the Ardbegs, the succulence of Caol Ila, the earthy roughness of Laphaoig and the subtle pleasure of Talisker. If God made anything better, he kept it for himself.

Too smooth for me, but a great standby

This is a great starter Islay but it is too monotone, sweet and smooth for my palate. It has a lot of class but is a bit of an old smoothy. Lacks that briny hit, that salt, medicinal, astringency. Too sweet and cloying, like grandma's sherry. Treat yourself to a Bruichladdich Waves or Ardbeg 10 instead.

Islay at its best!

This is really great whisky.For me,its the best Islay whsiky! Ardbeg Uigeadail is close,but not close enough!

Excellent peated dram

One of the older peated whisky. Powerfull, but with balance.

The name sounds like a medicine, and it is a medicine! (for soul)

My favorite bedtime scotch. A blast of taste and nose

Tastes like burnt rubber tyres soaked in TCP

Some of you may think that my whisky palate has not advanced enough yet, however I can only say it how I find it and I will be honest I do not find this whiskey enjoyable. I'm obviously just not an Islay whisky fan! If you have not tried this whisky before I recommend you go for the sample first.

Smooth, creamy, peaty delicious

Simply the best dram out there. From the smoky sweet nose to the almost milky, salt, honey, smoke taste. Unbeatable. 100 points.

john davies

Outstanding

As said above, this is unbeatable. A superlative, rich malt, with an unmistakable aroma. Alex W

SIMPLY THE BEST

Lagavulin - Simply the BEST!

UNIQUE

A wonderfully rich flavour.Gorgeous.

best of all the island malts

Out of Bruinladdich, laphroiag ,laph Qcask jura, talisker, lediag, highland Park and few more its prob my all time favourite smooth peaty smokey. Currently testing Jura 16year old, really nice but not as good as Lagavulin.

Oh my.

I had this while in a nice restaurant with a dozen friends. The nose is incredible and powerful, people could smell it way down the table. Each sip almost feels like liquid velvet!

Me

My favourite of all whiskies. Then Talisker, then Laphroaig!

Fantastic

Tried a sample of this at the glenkinchie distillery and bought myself a bottle. More balanced than many Islay drams with the peat smoke feeling more like a part of the flavour than hitting you in the face.

TCP

Tastes simply like TCP.
