18-year-old

About

Lagavulin's 18-year-old expression is a sophisticated single malt that elevates the distillery's characteristically bold Islay identity to refined complexity. Matured in a combination of refill and rejuvenated American oak hogsheads alongside ex-Bodega European oak butts, this dram balances peat smoke with unexpected fruity and floral notes. The nose reveals layers of smoked meat, dried berries, burnt leaves, and subtle florals, while the palate delivers rich caramel sweetness, espresso bitterness, and aged sherry notes with a distinct oakiness. The finish is long and warming, with lingering smoke and spice. This is a whisky that demands time and a quiet environment to fully appreciate its depth and character.
