Sipsy
Lagavulin 11 Year Sweet Peat is an Islay single malt designed to offer a softer, measured interpretation of peat smoke while maintaining the island’s maritime character. Distillation follows traditional methods, with careful attention to copper contact and spirit cuts to preserve freshness and purity.
Aging occurs in selected oak barrels for eleven years, where smoke integration and subtle sweetness develop without overpowering the coastal essence. The shorter maturation relative to older expressions allows the spirit to remain vibrant, emphasizing clarity, texture, and energy rather than extended oak influence.
On the palate, smoke arrives clean and rounded, complemented by gentle vanilla, sea-salt minerals, and subtle citrus peel. The texture is firm yet approachable, with a finish that lingers with warmth and measured peat intensity. Lagavulin 11 Year Sweet Peat represents a deliberate exploration of balance: a distilled expression of place, tradition, and restraint.
