The Lagavulin 8 Years Old Single Malt Whisky, 48% ABV, 0.7 l, is a characterful Scottish single malt whisky from the island of Islay, which was first launched in 2016 to mark the 200th anniversary of the Lagavulin Distillery. The historic distillery was founded in 1816 and is one of the best-known producers of intensely peated Islay single malt Scotch whiskies. The inspiration for this special bottling comes from the famous whisky writer Alfred Barnard, who visited the distillery in the 1880s and spoke particularly highly of an eight-year-old Lagavulin. With this edition, the distillery pays tribute to its long history and the distinctive whisky-making tradition of the Scottish Hebrides.


The Lagavulin 8 Years Old is matured for eight years in American and European refill oak casks, whose subtle influence allows the distillery’s original character to shine through particularly clearly. The combination of peated barley malt, traditional distillation and carefully selected oak cask maturation forms the basis for this expressive Islay whisky. Compared to the distillery’s longer-matured bottlings, the Lagavulin 8 Years Old places greater emphasis on the immediate character of the distillate. Originally released as an anniversary bottling, it was added to the regular range due to its positive reception. At 48% ABV in a 0.7-litre bottle, this smoky Islay single malt whisky stands as a distinctive interpretation of the classic Lagavulin style.
