Lagavulin Scotch Whiskey Displays New Expression

For over 200 years, Lagavulin has distilled Single Malt Scotch on Islay, an island in the Western Hebrides of Scotland. That legacy continues with the release of Lagavulin 11 Year Old Sweet Peat Single Malt Scotch Whiskey, the Distillery’s first new permanent expression in nine years. Aged in first-fill American oak ex-bourbon casks for 11 years, Sweet Peat brings peat smoke into balance with sweetness drawn from oak and malt, revealing notes of toffee apple, vanilla and gentle spice.
Lagavulin 11 Year Old Sweet Peat offers those curious about Scotch and longtime followers a new way to explore Scotch’s complexities. Its rounded profile brings forward nuances shaped by cask selection and maturation, speaking to those who value the details that set one expression or distillery apart.
Jesse Damashek, Sr .V.P., Whiskey at Diageo, said, “Sweet Peat presents peat in a way that tastes more approachable, while still delivering the depth and complexity long associated with Lagavulin.”
