Lagavulin 16 is known as one of the best Islay peated single malts there is. Aged for 16 years in oak casks with a fair portion of sherry casks added giving it a fruity intensity to coincide with the smokey peat flavour. ...

Lagavulin has been around since 1816 & located on Lagavulin bay. The distillery is painted white for all to see & perhaps the most beautiful. Lagavulin makes arguably the most intensely flavoured smoky & rich whisky of all. The distillery has a reputation of creating high quality whisky, rather than high quantity & because it is an Islay whisky you can be sure to expect a strong peaty taste. When the Lagavulin 16yo was first created, it was not expected that it would be such as high demand as it was, so much so that for months there was no 16 to be seen because it had all be bought up & demand out numbered supply. Since then they have laid down extra casks to ensure that the public are never deprived again & now it is the biggest seller amongst classic single malts. It is aged in oak casks for 16 years & has had a fair proportion of sherry casks added to it to add an extra fruity-like intensity. The flavour is hard to describe, it has style, tenacity & class, it starts sweet but boasts a subtle dryness with the peat not being simple but multifaceted, it is not too complex but heavy in weight. All in all this is a whisky that should be approached with caution by the beginner but by experienced whisky drinkers, this is known as one of the best there is. ...

This special release is a much more limited edition 21 year old than its previous counterparts & we estimate it to be even ...

After releasing the 8yo to commemorate 200 years of the famous distillery, Lagavulin have now made this part of their range. Matured in refill European & American oak casks, it's big peaty & smoky with spicy notes & subtle sweetness. ...

Mezcal is made from the Maguey plant, a form of agave, native to Mexico. Although it is made from the same plant, it is a different drink to Tequila. There is a myth behind the drink, it is said that one day a man was walking & he saw a lighting bolt stuck the agave plant cooking it & opening it up to reveal its juice. For this reason the liquid is called the elixir of the Gods! The production of Mezcal is done by harvesting the agave plant & cutting off the plants roots & leaves to reveal its heart. It is then cooked for three days in a pit oven which gives Mezcal its smoky flavour. The heart is then mashed & left to ferment in large vats or barrels with water added. They also add cinnamon, pineapple slices, red bananas & sugar, each imparting a particular character to the mescal. The mash is allowed to ferment with the resulting liquid collected & distilled in clay or copper pots which will further modify the flavour. They are left from 1month to 4 years & sometimes they can be aged for as long as 12 years. Upon bottling is when the famous worm is added to the spirit. There are conflicting reasons as to why they add the worm, some say it is a marketing ploy, others says it is to add flavour & a select few state that whoever eats the worm will gain good fortune. Lajita is matured for 5 years & different from tequila because of the agave used in the production. ...

50cl Lajita Mezcal is similar to tequila but it is made from a different agave plant & contains a worm in the drink. The nose is smoky with a natural earthy aroma. On the palate it is medium body with a little burn, smoky flavours & a smooth finish. ...
