"Exceptionally fine" was how illustrious whisky chronicler, Alfred Barnard, described the Lagavulin 8 year old expression he sampled during an 1886 visit to the distillery.

In homage to Lagavulin's timeless ability to produce exceptional malts, this is a reinterpretation of the 8 year old from Barnard's era.
