Lagavulin

Lagavulin, an Islay whisky, is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, dating to about 1742. It is known as the aristocrat of Islays. Lagavulin is one of the few great classics not only from Islay but Scotland it’s self. The great peat smoke aroma adds to its robust body, and is well balanced and smooth with a gentle sweetness. The 16 year is among my all time favorites of all single malts with its heady and pungent smokiness. Lagavulin means “the hollow where the mill is”.

It is indeed my favorite as well. But why is it an entry? Anything news related about this particular scotch or company recently?

This scotch can be found cheapest at some Costcos at $59 a bottle! Otherwise they range from $60-90

Where's Deirdre? Your posts are useless...and poorly written.

It's PEAT not PEAK. You don't even talk about the shortage that has led to increased prices.

Stop wasting our time.

OK, what is so special about this? The Lagavulin 16 is a $50 bottle of Scotch. There's nothing special about this. It's available in nearly any liquor store.

Yes, it's peaty, but that is a characteristic common to Lagavulin, no matter the age.
