Lagavulin 16 Year old

Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky

The Islay representative in the 'Classic Malts' series is a deep, dry and exceptionally peaty bruiser. Probably the most pungent of all Islay malts, Lagavulin is not for the faint-hearted but inspires fanatical devotion in its many followers.

I have been enjoying all types of whisky for the past 40 odd years as an ex service man. Lagavulin has got to be, with out a doubt, the most enjoyable of the lot. Thank you Posted By: J.W. Devon

A triumph of a whisky!

After drinking this I had a Rabbie Burns moment and wrote a poem. This is everything you could want a whisky to be. It's just such a shame mine was a miniature! Posted By: Douglas Muir

A world-beating classic and a whisky I can't live without. Peaty in a totally different way to Ardbeg and Laphroaig; more of a lapsang souchong nose and taste. Although wonderful, there's room for improvement: the mouth doesn't quite deliver on what's promised on the nose. Can't wait to try the Distillers Edition variation on the 16 y-o; it's not that much dearer. Posted By: AW

Simply the best of the best of the best. A wonderful, characteristic taste - you can actually feel the atmosphere of the Scottish seaside in your mouth. Posted By: Rickard Brinck

Hands down the BEST whisky I've ever tasted! I'm addicted!I've put a challenge out there: Can anyone give me a better, richer single malt?In the last 20 years none has been able to accomplish this! Posted By: Chris Mills

Great whisky, complex and rich. But I am a Laphroaig fan. Posted By: Peter

Outstanding, the best whiskey I've ever tasted or smelled, I'm hooked. Had been drinking Chivas but will never go back. It's like I had been drinking Jose Cuervo and tasted my first agave tequila. Thank you Lagavulin for opening my eyes and nostrils. Posted By: Bobby Davis, Mobile, AL.

Was a big fan of Laphroaig, but this whisky has got to be the best I have ever tasted! Rich, peaty (love that) and more of the sea, seems to me, than Laphroaig. Posted By: RW

Posted on 10 Apr 2009 :

Wow. Just wow. Ardbeg 10YO and Laphroiag Quarter Cask deliver peat in spades, but the overall richness of this is really something else. Worth every penny. Posted By: AWL, Sevenoaks.

Posted on 16 Apr 2009 :

With the same shape bottle and same colour stopper as Caol Ila a strange coincidence ? A pricey dram and I wonder why? The quality is there in the rich nose but doesn't quite follow through onto the palate. Even so a viable alternative to Laphroaig quarter cask and Caol Ila 12 year old. Smokey and rich with sea shore and lapsang overtones.

By far the best islay malt i have tasted,lots of smokey peat with a whiff of sea air to finish it off.A truly magnificent dram from the isle that all scotch drinkers should try to have in their collection,for the price(aus.$102.00)it is the best and was well matched with a maduro cigar.

Sorry. Tastes like a visit to a dentist to me. Posted By: Audrius

What can you say new about Lagavulin 16 yo? It is quite simply in a class of which there are very few members. One of life's great joys is sitting by an open wood fire drinking Laga on a cold winters night. A King amongst Single Malts. Posted By: trebor

I have tried for years to find a whisky I like better than Lagavulin, I have stopped trying.

Posted on 17 Dec 2009 :

Definitely still my best whisky. Always comparing others to him. Still none better. I'm waiting my 1993 distillers edition for this Christmas! Posted By: Povilas Safranauskas

Posted on 30 Dec 2009 :

On the palate, a silken liquid of considerable viscosity bathes my palate in a gently sweet wood smoke, moving to mint, peppermint and cool menthol. The liquid is warming. There is no heat, burn or roughness of any kind. Have no fear, you can drink this "neat" (no water or ice need apply to this job!). I also detect some green olive with the red pimento in the centre coming through. Oh, this is glorious stuff. The stuff that dreams are made of. Posted By: Jason's Scotch Whisky Reviews

Its a lovely whisky, but used to be able to buy cheap a few years ago when it was still unknown and underrated, has doubled its price in recent years. Posted By: Martin K

Come on Martin K wake up and get real. Almost everything in life is dearer than it was! Where have you been? Posted By: roger turner

For myself, the taste of Laphroaig doesnt come near to that of Lagavulin,although i have read somewhere that Homecoming Single Islay Malt does have a similar flavour. Posted By: Keith MacGowan

Every bit as deep, complex, and wonderful as a'bunadh!! Posted By: HenryCFA

Posted on 11 Feb 2010 :

Had this for the first time last night... Amazing!!!! This is the malt for me! Posted By: Andy I

Posted on 01 Mar 2010 :

So I got this ( my first ) Islay not knowing if it'd be to my tastes. I like rich Highland or LowlandAll I can say is WOW! Its complex with a taste of everything other posters have said. It's smokey with a great seaside flavour with peat and salt. Strangely there is a menthol/mintiness to it, but the smoothness stops it from coming through too strong. So far, my fave whisky for me can be described as a very grown-up whisky Posted By: Snige

Brand Info:

Lagavulin

Lagavulin Distillery
Part of the triumvirate of heavily-peated southern Islay malts, alongside LVMH's Ardbeg and Beam Global's Laphroaig, Lagavulin was officially founded in 1816 by John Johnston (although illicit distillation is said to have been carried out on the site since the mid-eighhteenth centrury) and has been the Islay representative of Diageo's Classic Malt selection since 1987. The histories of Lagavulin and Laphroaig have been closely tied together, with Laphroaig said to have been founded by the son of the founder of Lagavulin.
