Take colour, for instance. Lagavulin 16’s deeper, amber hue is just more inviting to me. There’s a sense of depth, of a story well-told. Don’t get me wrong, the pale charm of Lagavulin 8 has its appeal, but it didn’t ignite the same anticipation.
Fruit tarts featuring apples or pears are an excellent pairing for Macallan 12 Double Cask. The whisky’s light sweetness enhances the natural sweetness of the fruit, while its oloroso sherry notes provide a unique depth of flavour that works to delicately balance out the sweetness. Additionally, the whisky’s intense roasted nut and malt flavours work to bring out the best in both the whisky and the tart, creating a truly indulgent tasting experience. Apple Tarte Tatin I have a pretty massive collection of bottles and most of them are sealed for the future or for investment purposes. This one I opened ages ago when I 1st really got into whiskey but I really barely get a chance to drink... It has really been fine sitting in the cupboard it seems like the correct is totally intact and just smelling this from the bottle and put it in the glass just reminds me of why I got interested in whiskey in the 1st place. This is stunning. Sometimes you see all these expensive bottles and then you realize some people don't even care about this world and wouldn't even understand the expense and the high end expensiveness that whiskey can get into but this is just an exceptional product. It's beautiful and tastes beautiful and smells amazing Lagavulin fills their stills to 95% capacity, whereas Caol Ila only fills them to 50-60%, which makes a huge difference in the final product. Don’t take the advertising too seriously, and we think you’re on to something here. And if you do get too carried away, just make sure the tattoos are the kind that wash off. No doubt about it, both have comparable expressions of their own. There’s a wide maturity gap of 8 years and the differences are conspicuous (not to mention the prices).
In the initial tasting, I could tell this is a complex one, arguably the most complex out of the drams or Tamadhu, Glenkinchie, Glen Scotia, Ledaig and the Dalmore I'd tasted. Lagavulin is one of a trio of distilleries sat on the south coast of Islay. Lagavulin produces some of the smokiest whisky Scotland has to offer, with the Lagavulin 16 Year Old standing as their most storied expression. The name Lagavulin is an anglicisation of Lag a' Mhuilinn, the Scottish Gaelic for hollow of the mill. The Macallan 12 Double Cask paired with fresh water fish creates a unique mix of tastes that will provide a remarkable dining experience. The whisky’s light sweetness enhances the natural sweetness of the fish, while its intense sherry notes add layers of complexity and depth that simply cannot be replicated by other ingredients. Whether you’re enjoying this pairing at home or at your favourite pub – one thing is certain: Macallan 12 Double Cask is an unbeatable choice for any occasion!

In The West Wing (season 3, episode 15, titled ' Dead Irish Writers'), Lagavulin was featured as the drink of choice of Lord John Marbury ( Roger Rees). [14] New Scottish Companies". Glasgow Evening Post. Scotland. 13 September 1895 . Retrieved 26 February 2023– via British Newspaper Archive. The whisky is then transferred to a mixture of former Bourbon and Sherry casks, where controlling the temperature and distillation time yields the precise flavour Caol Ila is after. These barrels have been re-charred and re-toasted which imparts a rich and complex flavour profile with notes of smoke, honey, dried fruit, and a hint of sea salt. Four large copper whisky stills inside Lagavulin distillery on Islay. Lagavulins are aged for 8-16 years, while Macallans are aged for 12-25 years. Macallan is usually more expensive than Lagavulin because it undergoes a longer maturation process.
