Nose: A blossom of salted caramel, honeysuckle, fresh hay, and refined, clarified, condensed ocean-flecked peat. Ptinues, but with mostly dry wood and dry coal.alate: Soft, medium body. Sweet and gentle initially, lulling you, but the lull is suddenly shattered by a wave of tongue burn. This is over mercifully quickly (amazing for a young malt at 48%), scattering wet leaves, mushroomy peat, sea spray, sparkling minerality, and caramel across the tongue in equal proportion.
Lagavulin 8 Year Old is appreciated by whisky enthusiasts for its straightforward, unembellished profile, capturing the essence of Lagavulin’s intense and smoky style in a younger form.
