Description

History:
Lagavulin released the 8 Year Old in 2016 to commemorate Alfred Barnard, who praised an 8-year-old Lagavulin during his 1880s distillery visit. It captures the house style in a younger, more vibrant form.

Production & Maturation:
Made from heavily peated malt, distilled in copper pot stills, and matured in oak casks for 8 years. Compared to the 16-year expression, it is younger, brighter, and more intense.

Aroma:
Powerful smoke and peat, with fresh citrus notes, sea salt, and a touch of vanilla—sharper and brighter than the 16 Year Old.

Palate:
Bold and punchy on entry, medium-to-full body, with intense smoke, hints of lemon, black pepper, and malt sweetness.

Finish:
Long finish with lingering smoke and peppery spice, ending dry and crisp.

历史:
Lagavulin于2016年推出这款8年款，纪念作家Alfred Barnard在1880年代访问酒厂时对其“8年威士忌”的高度评价。这款酒延续了Lagavulin经典烟熏风格，但更加年轻直接。

调配与酿陈:
采用重度泥煤麦芽，经传统铜壶蒸馏，并在橡木桶中熟成8年。相较16年版本，陈年时间较短，风味更直接、更有冲击力。

香气:
强烈烟熏与泥煤气息，伴随柑橘清新感、海盐与轻微香草气息，较16年更锐利。

口感:
入口冲击感较强，酒体中等偏厚，烟熏浓烈，带有柠檬、黑胡椒与麦芽甜感。

余韵:
余味悠长，烟熏与胡椒感持续，尾段干爽利落。
