The Smoke Softens. The Sweetness Stays.

Lagavulin built its legend on bold, uncompromising peat. Then they did something unexpected: they let bourbon casks do the talking for 11 years. The result is Sweet Peat, a whisky that keeps the coastal campfire DNA but wraps it in layers of vanilla, toffee, and golden honey. It is Islay for the curious and a revelation for the devoted.

This is not a watered down Lagavulin. It is a different lens on the same distillery character. The peat is present, but it plays nicely with the sweetness drawn from American oak. If you have ever wanted to introduce someone to Islay whisky without scaring them off, this is your bottle. And if you already love Lagavulin, this will surprise you in the best way.

🥃 Tasting Notes

• Nose: Warm honey drizzled over smoked oak, vanilla bean, toasted marshmallow, a whisper of sea salt and dried apricot
• Palate: Creamy toffee and butterscotch meet gentle peat smoke, baked pear, a touch of cinnamon spice, and soft maritime minerality
• Finish: Medium to long. Sweet smoke lingers with caramel, a faint iodine note, and warm oak that fades slowly like embers on a beach bonfire

🍸 How to Enjoy

• Neat with a few drops of water: Opens up the honey and softens the smoke beautifully. Let it sit for 5 minutes after pouring.
• Penicillin cocktail: 2 oz Sweet Peat, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.75 oz honey ginger syrup, shake and strain. Float a barspoon of this on top of a classic Penicillin for a smoky crown.
• Highball: 1.5 oz over ice, top with chilled soda water and a lemon twist. Refreshing and unexpected for an Islay malt.
• Gift it: The striking bottle and unique Sweet Peat story make this a standout gift for whisky lovers, Father's Day, birthdays, or anyone who appreciates something different.

📖 The Story Behind the Bottle

• Lagavulin, founded in 1816 on the southern coast of Islay, is one of Scotland's most iconic distilleries. Known for powerful, heavily peated malts, the Sweet Peat release flips the script by aging exclusively in first fill bourbon barrels.
• The bourbon cask influence draws out natural sweetness from the spirit while the Islay terroir, sea air, and peat water still leave their mark. The result is a whisky that bridges two worlds: American bourbon warmth and Scottish coastal smoke.
• At 86 proof (43% ABV), it is bottled at a strength that delivers flavor without overwhelming the palate. This expression has quickly become a collector favorite and a gateway bottle for new Islay drinkers.
