Is Lagavulin 16 Cask Strength?
The standard bottling is a 16-year-old, bottled at 43% ABV. They also bottle a Distiller’s edition, finished in Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks. Alongside these, they regularly release a 12-year-old cask strength version and various older and rarer expressions.
Why is Lagavulin 12 more expensive?
It’s less peat than I was expecting from an Islay whisky, and the lemon flavor results in a very ‘fresh’ tasting whisky. The 12 year old has been bottled less frequently, and is much more expensive as a result. At a lower price, the Lagavulin 12 year old would be a lot more attractive.
