Tasting Notes

Lagavulin 16 Year Old is intensely smoky with classic Islay peat character. Aromas of maritime brine, iodine, and charred oak are layered with hints of dried fruit, vanilla, and a subtle sweetness. On the palate, rich peat smoke intertwines with notes of sherry, caramel, and dark chocolate, finishing long, warming, and slightly salty.

Food Pairings

Main Course Grilled lamb chops or roasted beef with charred vegetables to match the richness.

Cheese Aged cheddar or smoked gouda to balance the peat and sweetness.
