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.

Lagavulin 11 Year Old Offerman Edition
When one of the most famous peated Islay single malts partnered with acclaimed actor Nick Offerman, it was a match made in heaven. The actor is known for his role as Ron Swanson in the sitcom Parks and Recreation, where the character was enamored with Lagavulin single malt whisky. Lagavulin 11 Year Old Offerman Edition Double Charred Islay Single Malt Scotch is the 3rd limited release that stems from that partnership. Crafted as a perfect companion to a delicious steak, the whisky spent more than 11 years in heavily charred ex-bourbon and red wine casks before being bottled at 92 proof. It's an intensely peaty Scotch with notes of berries, brine, and vanilla.
