About the product
Discover Lagavulin’s first new permanent expression in nine years with this case of six bottles of the 11 Year Old Sweet Peat. Aged entirely in first-fill American oak ex-bourbon casks, this Islay single malt brings the distillery’s signature peat smoke into elegant balance with natural sweetness drawn from oak and malt.
Crafted from heavily peated malt and local Islay water, the spirit undergoes slow fermentation in wooden washbacks and distillation in Lagavulin’s distinctive squat copper pot stills. Bottled at 43% ABV, it delivers a more approachable yet still deeply characterful profile.
The nose offers inviting notes of vanilla, milk chocolate and gentle ashy peat. On the palate it opens with soft sweetness and a touch of salinity before building into honeyed malt, toffee apple, bonfire smoke and oak spice. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering peat smoke, dark chocolate and soft vanilla.
Awarded a Gold Medal at the 2025 San Francisco Wine & Spirits Competition, this expression remains unmistakably Lagavulin while offering a sweeter, more rounded take on classic Islay peat. Ideal for collectors, peat enthusiasts and those seeking a refined introduction to the style, this case of six provides excellent value for enjoying or sharing this modern classic.
