When we were young
Kick off 2017 right with a bottle of Lagavulin 8-Year-Old 200th Anniversary Single Malt, released by this Islay distillery, founded in 1816, as part of its 200th anniversary celebration. Its older sibling – the 25-year-old anniversary single malt – is already pretty accomplished, however, the Lagavulin 8-year-old differs noticeably from that older counterpart as well as from its regular 16-year-old bottling. For one thing, the pale-yellow colour foretells a softer, candied smoke, and the floral, citrus, and oak flavors make it a much gentler whisky.
