Lagavulin 8 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a bold, intensely smoky Islay single malt Scotch whisky crafted at the legendary Lagavulin Distillery in Port Ellen, Isle of Islay, Scotland. Originally released to commemorate the distillery’s 200th anniversary, this powerful 8-year expression delivers the unmistakable maritime peat character that defines Lagavulin.
Bottled at 48% ABV (96 proof), this high-proof Islay Scotch whisky showcases robust peat smoke, coastal salinity, and bright citrus intensity balanced by subtle sweetness and oak structure. Known affectionately as the “Wee Drappie,” this expression offers a younger, more vibrant interpretation of the classic Lagavulin house style while maintaining the deep, smoky complexity for which the distillery is world-renowned.
Matured in oak casks and crafted using traditional distillation methods, Lagavulin 8 Year Old is an essential bottle for fans of peated Scotch, smoky whisky collectors, and lovers of bold coastal malts.
