Lagavulin 8 Year Old is a single malt whisky from the island of Islay, Scotland. The distillery bottled it for the first time on its 200th anniversary, in 2016. For this cuvée, Georgie Crawford, the distillery's master distiller, wanted to pay tribute to Alfred Barnard. This historian and journalist had been lucky enough to taste an 8-year-old Lagavulin at the beginning of the 20th century, and had fond memories of it. It's the style of that whisky that Lagavulin has tried to recreate here. This "young" Lagavulin benefits from a much shorter maturation period than the rest of the range, enabling it to retain a very peaty character, while retaining its characteristic elegance. A must for fans of the genre... No shipping to Switzerland, USA, UK, Canada and Russia !
