Tasting Notes

Nose: Dark oak and raisins are immediately prominent, dowsed in the rich sweetness of wine cask influence. Underneath, there's a signature Lagavulin peat and smoke that melds seamlessly with the fruity top notes.
Taste: The initial sip greets you with a sweet-spicy burst, leading to a complex mix of fruity raisin-sweetness and a characteristic Islay smokiness. A subtle saltiness enhances the layers, while dry espresso coffee grounds add a robust depth to the profile.
Finish: The finish is long and smoky, with dark oak and spice lingering on the palate, leaving a warm, lasting impression that intensifies the peaty character typical of Islay malts.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

Islay peat smoke meets Pedro Ximenez sherry sweetness here, making this a generous way into the smoky side of single malt. Lagavulin Distillery first matures the spirit in American and European oak casks, then finishes it in PX-seasoned, re-charred American oak casks with heavily re-charred new American oak ends. In the glass, dark oak and raisins lead, followed by a sweet-spicy burst, a subtle saltiness, dry espresso grounds, and a long, smoky finish where oak and spice linger. Bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV), it suits two kinds of drinkers: the sherried-malt lover curious about peat, and the Islay fan who wants a sweeter, mellower take on the house style. It is a sipping whisky first, neat or over a little ice. We carry it because it satisfies both camps at once, and its 2023 Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition suggests we are not alone in that view.

Pairs well with

Dark chocolate — The bitterness of dark chocolate echoes the dry espresso notes while the PX raisin sweetness bridges to the cacao.
Pecan pie — The pie's caramelized sweetness complements the whisky's raisin and dark oak notes, while its smoke cuts through the richness.
After-dinner cigar evening — The long, smoky, oak-and-spice finish holds its own beside a fine cigar for an indulgent, slow-paced close to the night.

Questions about this bottle

What does Double Matured mean for this whisky?

The spirit is first matured in American oak and European oak casks, then finished in Pedro Ximenez-seasoned, re-charred American oak casks fitted with heavily re-charred new American oak ends. That second stage adds the rich, raisin-like sweetness that sits alongside Lagavulin's peat smoke.

How smoky is it, and what else will I taste?

Peat and smoke are clearly present, but they meld with dark fruit rather than dominate. Expect dark oak and raisins on the nose, a sweet-spicy palate with raisin sweetness, a subtle saltiness and dry espresso coffee grounds, then a long, smoky finish with lingering oak and spice.

What is the best way to drink it?

Neat is recommended to fully appreciate its complex flavor and aromatics. Serving it on the rocks chills it slightly and opens up different facets of the whisky. It also pairs well with rich desserts like dark chocolate or pecan pie, or with a fine cigar.

Is it a good gift bottle?

Yes, for anyone who enjoys Islay or sherried single malts. It is a full 750 ml bottle at 86 proof, and it earned a Gold Medal at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, which gives the recipient a nice talking point.
