Â£799 is quite a price, out of my reach for drinking. It will be interesting to see how quickly this sells out at this price.

Has anyone tried the new Laguvulin 8? I'm new to this forum (and to Scotch drinking!), so trying to figure it out!

The 8 year is fantastic. Well worth the price tag, and honestly, I like it better than the 12yo (which I also like quite a bit). It's very surprising how complex the 8yo turned out to be.

As whisky gets older the its peaty profile can become tamer and many people prefer the younger expressions of the big peaty Islay whiskies and in the case of the 8 year old I would say Lagavulin made sure that they picked out something very special.
