The slowness of this process is what gives Lagavulin 16 years whiskey the roundness and smoothness of its aging. Fermentation of barley is also slow, between 55 and 75 hours. It mainly ages in refillable European oak barrels. Deep amber color. The nose shows strength and refinement.

Smell of bergamot surrounded by a sophisticated complex of sweeter, creamy and chocolaty aromas. In more time they resemble lemon and white pepper strokes. With water, the smells include cereal and roasted nuts but the smoked fragrance always comes back. In the mouth it is dry at the first moment, compensated with the sweetness of the sherry. Then it develops oily, and particularly provides slightly brackish and turbous strokes that emerge in aggressive and sustained attack. The 16-year-old Lagavulin leaves a soft tickle in the tongue. With water, the taste is cleaned gently, bringing a sophisticated smoky taste. Powerful and turbid finish. Remember toasted sesame seeds and basil. With water similar to roasted cumin and other Indian spices.
