Our legend tells that on an atypical day, a flash of sun descended from the sky, setting fire to the earth that, when the flames died out, was enveloped in a dense mist. From the ashes new life emerged, adorned with feathers of honey gold and deep crimson, marking the rebirth of the King of Islay as a towering Phoenix. His fiery wings rose, spreading his influence over the stills of the Lagavulin distillery and enhancing the spicy intensity of his whiskey. Lagavulin has always been a place full of myths. In the steep bay that houses the current distillery, ancient lords of the islands built a castle that eventually gave way to the distillery. Produced in the cradle of the art of distillation, this iconic Islay whiskey is characterized by its intensity and smokiness, rooted in a rich history and tradition spanning more than two centuries.

Considered one of the most intense whiskeys, matured in virgin oak barrels and selected from Lagavulin's smokiest reserves, this whiskey combines spices and peat smoke in a dance that culminates in its characteristic deep sweetness. When tasted, initially soft and oily, it is distinguished by its sweetness, while citrus and sea salt notes provide liveliness and an explosion of spices. As it develops, the flavor intensifies, drying out and deepening its smokiness. Waves of peat embrace a long, smoky and spicy finish. Emerging from the fire, this Lagavulin rises as a standout among smoky and spicy whiskeys.
