Lagavulin 8 Years 70cl. Case
Lagavulin 8 Years has been created in honor of whiskey journalist Alfred Barnard. In the 19th century, Barnard tasted an 8-year-old Lagavulin during one of his visits to Islay, describing it as “exceptionally good and of great repute”. The distillery wanted to wink at this anecdote. It is a sweet and smoky whiskey made in oak barrels to mature for a specific period of time. In the case of this malt, it means that the whiskey has spent at least eight years in barrels.
