Lagavulin Sweet Peat 11 year old Bourbon Cask Aged, 43%

Price: 70 Issue: Summer 2026 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Single Malt Scotch

Fragrantly sweet on the nose, with peat smoke, sea shells, cigar box, and dried strawberries. Mellow on the palate, syrupy and smooth—peated but not at all a peat bomb— with strawberry jam, dark chocolate, and sugared coffee. The finish has spice and peat to keep the fruit sweetness in balance. Overall, very light and sweet, almost candied at times. A few similarities to other Lagavulin expressions, but a distinct departure.
