Lagavulin Whiskey 16 years

Elaboration

Lagavulin 16 year old whiskey has the slowest distillation among the other drinks produced at the distillery; About five hours for the first distillation and more than nine for the second is the norm.

The slowness of this process is what gives the whiskey the roundness and smoothness of its aging.

Fermentation of barley is also slow, between 55 and 75 hours. It is mainly aged in refillable European oak barrels.

Tasting Note

• View: Lagavulin whiskey 16 years deep amber.
• Nose: As is typical of these distilleries, the Lagavulin 16 years shows strength and refinement. Smell of bergamot surrounded by a sophisticated complex of sweeter, creamy and chocolatey aromas. Over time they resemble lemon and traces of white pepper. With water, the smells encompass cereal and roasted nuts but the smoky fragrance always returns.
• Palate: It is dry at first, offset by the sweetness of the sherry. It then develops oily, and particularly provides slightly salty and peaty strokes that emerge in aggressive and sustained attack.

Lagavulin 16 years leaves a soft tingle on the tongue. With water, it cleans the flavor gently, bringing a sophisticated smoky taste.

It has a powerful and peaty finish. Remember toasted sesame seeds and basil. With water it resembles roasted cumin and other Indian spices.
