Lagavulin 16 Year Old & Glass Set From "The Whisky Society" Atlas Editions 8 x 20cl
Lot number: 093-5837
Winning bid: £130
Like most Islay malts, Lagavulin is definitely not for the faint hearted. The distillery was officially founded in 1816 (although illicit production on the site most certainly predates that), and produces malt with a signature style of earthy smoke and savoury undertones. 1962 marked a significant point in the distillery's history, as it was then bought by John Logan Mackie, whose nephew Peter went on to create the White Horse blend with Lagavulin at its heart.
These days the distillery, along with White Horse, belong to Diageo. However, it is generally agreed that while Lagavulin's core range remains reliably excellent, older expressions bearing the White Horse name still have the edge.
These eight 20cl Lagavulin 16 Year Old bottlings are presented in red boxes from the Whisky Society and each comes with a tumbler.
Age: 16 Years Old
43% ABV / 20cl x 8
