Lagavulin 8 Y.O. Vol.48% Cl. 70

To mark the bicentenary of Lagavulin's birth in 2016, the renowned Islay distillery is launching a limited-edition bottle: the Lagavulin 8 Years Old, a single malt produced in honor of the most famous whisky historian of the Victorian era.

To celebrate its 200th anniversary, Lagavulin has decided to re-release a contemporary version of the 8-year-old whisky tasted by Alfred Barnard in the late 1800s.

Barnard, an Englishman from Essex, was one of the first and most important historians of distillation.

During a business trip, he came to Islay and tasted a Lagavulin 8 Year Old: in his travel journals, he described it as "exceptionally good."

He then adds that "there are few Scotch distilleries that use the spirit as a single [malt] whisky, and among these, Lagavulin is undoubtedly one of the best" - an excerpt of these sentences is printed on the label of the 8 Years Old.

After the enormous success of the limited edition, the Lagavulin distillery has decided to reintroduce the Lagavulin 8 Years Old single malt.

Lagavulin 8 Years Old is an exceptional whisky that will delight all lovers of Scottish single malts!

A pronounced, charred flavor with hints of mint and dark chocolate.

Distilled on the rugged island of Islay.

An essential gift for peat lovers.

An excellent gift.
