After the wonderful reception that the Lagavulin 8 Year Old 200th Anniversary Edition received when it was released in 2016, the Islay-based distillers decided to add this delicious expression to their permanent core range! As Alfred Barnard (author of The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom) said of an 8 year old Lagavulin in the 1880s, this stuff is "exceptionally fine".
If you feel like broadening your horizons and experiencing Lagavulin as you never have before, then we heavily recommend The Lagavulin Hot Chocolate. We know that this may not appeal to some, but honestly you really should give it a try because it's absolutely gorgeous. You can find a recipe for it right here.
Salted popcorn, honey-roasted nuts, tarry ropes and light hints of freshly-chopped cedar. A touch of burnt sugar sweetness lingers.
Smokey peat appears first on the palate, followed by coriander seed, barley sugar, cumin powder, smoked kipper and marzipan.
Layers of apple crumble, toasted almond and ash. Another kick of cooking spices right at the end.

At first I was quite disappointed, expecting a similar whisky to the 200th anniversary edition, but let’s make one thing clear, they are not one and the same. This one is peppery, and it is the pepper note which makes it. I personally prefer it with no water, but if you want to add then go steady. Overall pretty decent stuff, I’m having a wee dram aye while writing this and it’s going down nicely. Slightly overpriced for what it is but what can ya do. I just want to end this by saying the anniversary edition was a beauty, and I’m sad it is no longer on the market, though that is the way of the whisky world sadly. Onwards and upwards!
Too peaty and smoky. Very rough taste. Tastes like JWRL gone sour.
More smoky than the 16 and still has a touch of sweetness. It doesn't have the complexity of flavours of the 16. It whacks you with a big smack of peat tae the pus and has a wee bit more going on. Watch out for reviewers who can't handle the peaty punch in the pus. They will give it a low score cos they got battered by this one.
This is a great example of a good, young whisky. The peat makes the alcohol work. The barley and barrel notes are present and work well. You have to be in the mood for this dram, but when you are it’s perfect.
Has a depth and smokiness you'd expect from a much older whisky. No strange bitter aftertaste. Long smokey finish.
