Lagavulin 8yo was released to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of Lagavulin distillery by John Johnston in 1816, this eight-year-old is big and smoky, with sweet spice that becomes apparent with a drop of water. Inspired by the visit of Alfred Barnard to the distillery in the 1880s when he tried an 'exceptionally fine' eight-year-old from the distillery, this is a fitting tribute for the milestone.

Lagavulin 8 Year Old, created in honour of Alfred Barnard, described as the first whisky journalist and a renowned traveller, is said to have a long, sweet and “power-driven” finish.
