Lagavulin 16 Year Old is the definitive Islay single malt Scotch whisky, celebrated worldwide for its intense peat smoke, deep complexity, and rich peatiness. Distilled in the historic south coast distillery of Islay established in 1816, it is aged for at least sixteen years in oak casks. It pours a deep, glowing amber color. The nose is incredibly robust, presenting peat smoke with iodine, seaweed, and a rich, sweet fruitiness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and intense, unfolding with sweet peat, dry wood smoke, rich malt, and a sophisticated seaweed salinity, leading into a spectacularly long, warming peat finish with subtle sweet oak notes.

This Lagavulin 16years represents the pinnacle of barrel maturation. The interaction between the distillate and the wood in this premium expression results in a profound depth of character.
The profile is anchored by Intense Peat Bonfire Smoke and Rich Sweet Malted Barley, characteristic of Lagavulin's proprietary distillation process in Islay, Scotland.
Lagavulin 16 Year Old is bottled at an alcohol strength of 43% ABV (Alcohol by Volume), providing a rich and robust character.
It is best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn glass, or with a few drops of soft water to open up the complex smoke, peat, and maritime aromas.
The distillery uses heavily peated malted barley (dried over burning Islay peat fire) and runs a slow distillation process, followed by sixteen years of maturation, which concentrates the rich, oily smoke character.
Lagavulin 16 Year Old Single Malt has a standard retail base price of approximately ₹9,500 for a 750ml bottle, which varies across states depending on regional excise duties and taxes.
