The world's benchmark sherried Islay. Sixteen years on the shore of Lagavulin Bay, in a mix of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry European oak, builds a whisky as deep and brooding as the Kildalton cliffs themselves.
Mood: The single dram you pour when the day asks for gravitas.
Our sommelier says
Lagavulin 16 is the cornerstone of Diageo's Classic Malts—peated, slow-distilled, then aged sixteen years in a combination of refill American oak and European sherry casks. The marriage of smoke and dried fruit is the template every other Islay tries to chase.
Tasting notes
Pipe tobacco, dark toffee, sea spray, dried figs, peat smoke, a swirl of orange peel. Rich and oily—peat, sherry-soaked raisins, leather, espresso, smoked malt, a long current of brine. Immense and meditative—lingering smoke, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and warming oak.
Food pairing
Dark chocolate truffles, stilton, smoked brisket, or simply itself.
