Introduce someone to the full-flavors of Islay in the most lavish way possible by sending them this Lagavulin 16 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky Gift Basket as a token of your appreciation.

Founded in 1816, the Lagavulin Distillery is one of the nine active whisky distillers that constitute the Islay region of Scotland’s legally protected Scotch-producing regions. Known for crafting traditional Islay single malts, the distillery uses a slow distillation process that utilizes their pear-shaped pot stills allowing for better extraction of flavors from the malt and resulting in a cleaner and more robust flavor profile. This has allowed the distillery to perform exceptionally well at competitions with many of their signature offerings garnering high ratings from critics.

This is particularly true for their flagship offering, the Lagavulin 16 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Long considered a benchmark for Islay Scotch, each batch of this single malt begins with peated barley malt which is fermented and then twice-distilled before being left to mature in 16 years in used oak barrels. After this, the finished Scotch is then cut with pure water from Islay’s Solum Lochs before finally being bottled.

Rich caramel in color, each dram of this whisky yields a hearty aroma of caramel and peat supported by notes of crisp red apples, orange zest, savory smoked meats, brine, and slight medicinal hints. This is then complemented by a viscous and rich palate of even more peat, sherry, ripe orchard fruits, malt, toffee, coffee cake, cinnamon, vanilla, mint, and peppery spice before wrapping up with a long and savory finish of smoke-infused malt and oak.

As with all of our signature gift baskets, each Lagavulin 16 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky Gift Basket comes included with a variety of cheeses, crackers, cookies, candies, truffles, popcorn pretzels, and more all added to enhance your recipient’s overall drinking experience! Each gourmet gift basket is carefully handmade to order and elegantly wrapped with a bow on top giving you an easy way to send an impressive gift featuring this superb bottle of peated Scotch that’s perfect for any birthday, anniversary, or holiday celebration. So what are you waiting for? Send a basket to friends and family today and while you’re at it, throw in a set of glasses or cigars and make your gift even more extravagant.
