Fruity & Smoky
Lagavulin 8 was released in conjunction with the distillery's 200th anniversary in 2016. It's meant as a throwback to the style of whisky Lagavulin may have been producing around the 1880s.
The nose showcases prominent salty and seashell notes, along with plenty of fruits-- peaches, apricots, apples.
The palate is light and easy-sipping and continues with soft stewed fruits as well as
honey and oral notes. Peat is most felt on the finish, with a touch of campfire, as salt, seashell and fruits return for a very consistent prole all the way through.
