Lagavulin 16 Year Islay Single Malt Scotch 750ml

Lagavulin 16 is the benchmark Islay single malt: dense peat smoke balanced by a deep, rich sweetness. It is the distillery's flagship and a favorite of peated-whisky drinkers.

Lagavulin is an Islay distillery. When Diageo launched its Classic Malts series in the 1980s, the 16 Year Old was introduced and became the distillery's flagship bottling. It has the flavor of a driftwood fire at dusk.

The 16 Year Old is a single malt bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV). It is known for a nose of intense peat smoke with iodine and seaweed over a rich, deep sweetness.
