Lagavulin 16 Year Islay Single Malt Scotch 30-50 with firm tannins and powerfulThick and heavy, the Lagavulin signature style is rich and meaty, reminiscent of smoked bacon. Using barley peated to around 35ppm and a relatively short fermentation time, the true secret to creating this heavy spirit is in the distillation. Filling the stills to around 90%, drastically reducing the amount of copper contact and reflux, creates meaty notes in the new make which, after ageing, become the weighty flavours at the core of the whisky.
