This one was bottled in 2017 at cask strength after it was matured in a combination of refill American oak hogsheads and first-fill American oak barrels. To celebrate their 200 th anniversary, Lagavulin didn’t just release a super-premium, unobtainable, uber-expensive commemorative expression exclusively for deep-pocketed connoisseurs (although they did do that).It’s warming, soft and still smoky with water, not as long or intense now, yet still leaving the palate dry as sweet smoke lingers on the breath. You may even detect a hint of cocoa, vanilla, and toasted nuts, creating a symphony of complexity that’s deeply satisfying.

Lagavulin 8 Years is a fruity, vanilla laden and slightly spirity rendition of Lagavulin that’s fun to drink even if it’s not wildly complex.

This is excellent… and I could see choosing it after getting bored of a bottle or two of the 16-year.The 48% ABV on this dram works very well for the younger vintage: enhances the flavor, but surprisingly without the burn.

Its peaty smoke is bold yet lighter than the 16, infused with a clean, zesty citrus note, quite a surprise for an Islay malt.The bright, citrusy notes of the Lagavulin 8, combined with its smoky finish, pair exceptionally well with lighter fare. Matured in American oak, this whisky was finished in brandy seasoned hogsheads before a total of 3,000 bottles were released at 14 years old.

I’ve usually made a reference regarding Irvine Welsh in my Lagavulin reviews but this time, because of the backstory, and because this single malt is strong but pure: I’ll just state this as Whisky Galore! Inspired by the visit of Alfred Barnard to the distillery in the 1880s when he tried an 'exceptionally fine' eight-year-old from the distillery, this is a fitting tribute for the milestone.The youthful peat is bracing and focused (and not nearly as wild as some other examples of young peat). Further, we reserve the right to modify, change, discontinue the Service, add or remove features, update the Service, change its appearance, temporarily and permanently, at any time, in whole or any part thereof.
