The story began in 1816 on the windy island of Islay, when John Jonston and Archibald Campbell first opened the distillery. They’re famous for their extra-long, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“low and slow” \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003edistillation, which produces exceptionally smooth and flavorful Whisky.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe thing with Lagavulin is, you most probably either \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003elove it or you hate it\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e. The strong peat flavor tends to divide opinion. But we can almost guarantee - if you like your malts smoky, you’re gonna adore Lagavulin. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe Lagavulin 8 Year Old definitely possesses that \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003efull-on Lagavulin taste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. We would even argue it’s even peatier and more intense than the classic 16 YO flagship.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nInspiration for the bottling came from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlfred Barnard\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, renowned historian and Whisky explorer, who tried a similar 8 YO Lagavulin back in 1880 and described it as \u003cem\u003e“exceptionally fine.”\u003c\/em\u003e We must say, we agree with Mr. Barnard. The Whisky is matured in ex-Bourbon casks and bottled at \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e48% alcohol\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. It’s a beautiful example of the amount of depth a relatively young Whisky can achieve with master distilling and casking. Last but not least –\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e Lagavulin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e at this price point?
