Elements of Islay, Lg8 Full Proof, 59.5% 500ml
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distilled in 2006 and aged in two bourbon barrels, our eighth bottling of Lagavulin has all the classic mingling of sooty fires, barbecue meat and sweet fruit, making for a deliciously comforting dram.
TASTING NOTES
CORE FLAVOUR: Charred mango-glazed ham.
NOSE: Sweet aromas of caramel, mango and spices contrast with an underlying sootiness like the hearth of a cooling fire..
PALATE: An immediate hit of sooty smoke belies the subtle nose but slowly dissipates giving way to sweet, caramelised mango and peach, mingling with salty, charred roast ham. A subtle hint of star anise and clove lie in the background.
FINISH: A fresh salinity lingers, with sweet smoke and a hint of iodine.
ABOUT ELEMENTS OF ISLAY

The Limited Edition range consists of single malt bottlings from individual Islay distilleries identified with periodic symbols and batch numbers (Lp1, Ar2, and so on).
They are bottled either as single casks or as small batches between 3 and 20 carefully selected casks.
These expressions celebrate the distilleries’ individual character while presenting a balanced and characterful whisky bottled at full proof.
