Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Whisky introduced a New expression of Islay, Few places in the whisky world match the intrigue of Islay, an island in the Western Hebrides of Scotland, where whisky-making is in the fabric of the local culture. For over 200 years, Lagavulin has distilled Single Malt Scotch on the island with an enduring focus on craftsmanship, complexity, and balance. That legacy continues with the release of Lagavulin 11 Year Old Sweet Peat Single Malt Scotch Whisky, the Distillery's first new permanent expression in nine years.
Aged in first-fill American oak ex-bourbon casks for 11 years, Sweet Peat brings peat smoke into balance with sweetness drawn entirely from oak and malt, revealing notes of to coffee apple, vanilla and gentle spice while remaining unmistakably Lagavulin in character. Crafted with heavily peated malt and local Islay water, the spirit undergoes careful fermentation in wooden washbacks to build depth and texture, followed by distillation through Lagavulin's four distinctive squat, pear-shaped copper pot stills. This measured process produces a full-bodied, structured new make, allowing peat to remain central through maturation, while layers of sweetness emerge in balance with Lagavulin's signature smoke.
Lagavulin 11 Year Old sweet Peat offers those curious about Scotch and longtime followers a new way to explore the depth and complexities that lie beyond Lagavulin's signature smoke".
