16 Year Old image
Lagavulin 16 Year Old
Revered by connoisseurs and experts, Lagavulin is known as “the king of Islay”. It is an 'essential' Scotch Whisky that any connoisseur or enthusiast must have in their collection; one of the world's favourite Malt Whiskies. Aged in oak casks for at least 16 years, this much sought-after Single Malt has the massive peat-smoke flavour that's typical of southern Islay, while also offering richness and a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting dram. The Lagavulin 16 Year Old has become a benchmark Islay dram from the Lagavulin distillery. A gift for all occasions for lovers of peaty and powerful whiskies.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Intensely flavoured, peat smoke with iodine and seaweed and a rich, deep sweetness.
Palate: Dry peat smoke fills the palate with a gentle but strong sweetness, followed by sea and salt with touches of wood.
Finish: A long, elegant peat-filled finish with lots of salt and seaweed.
Ardbeg Wee Beastie
Ardbeg Wee Beastie is the latest permanent expression to join the Distillery's Ultimate Range. At just five years old, Wee Beastie is a feisty young creature with a formidable taste. Our whisky creators set out to make the rawest, smokiest Ardbeg ever. The result is Ardbeg Wee Beastie and this tongue-tingling, beautifully smoky dram is the youngest Ardbeg we've ever made. On the snout, intense aromas of cracked blacked pepper mingle with sappy pine resin and a sharp tang of smoke. Suddenly, an explosive mouthfeel bursts forth with chocolate, creosote and tar. Savoury meats sink into the palate before the long salty mouthcoating finish slinks away revealing the inner beast of this Islay icon. Young and intensely smoky, this is a dram untamed by age. Matured in ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, Wee Beastie is perfect for enjoying neat or as the mouth-watering main ingredient in a powerfully smoky cocktail.

Part of the  Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy family of brands.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Herbal notes, with hints of vanilla and pear. Rich Turkish coffee mingles with honey-glazed ham lurking in the background. Fennel, scents of aniseed, green apple and leather. A sharp tang of smoke and a crack of fresh black pepper.
Palate: Rich, explosive mouthfeel bursts forth with chocolate and tar. A powerful blast of eucalyptus with antiseptic lozenges and aniseed. Raw, smoky intensity before smoked bacon and savoury meats sink into the palate.
Finish: The long, briny, salty mouthcoating finish retreats, with hints of cocoa and fudge slinking slowly away.
