Lagavulin Whisky

On Islay's south coast, where the sea crashes directly against the warehouse walls, Lagavulin has been distilling its heavy, peated smoke since 1816. The whisky broke through to a wider audience beyond enthusiast circles when actor Nick Offerman made it a fixture of his public image. Today Lagavulin is, for many, the very embodiment of the Islay style - deep, medicinal and utterly unique.

    Sea salt, bonfire smoke and peat flames in the distance. The Smokey One is Woodrow's of Edinburgh's uncompromising tribute to Islay's smoky whisky tradition, made for those unafraid to meet the peat head-on.

    Expert description

    The Smokey One from The Jane Street Collection is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 48.5% ABV by independent bottler Woodrow's of Edinburgh.

    The whisky comes from an undisclosed Islay distillery, chosen for its ability to deliver the classic combination of sea salt, peat smoke and deep malt richness. The series is built around clear sensory themes, and The Smokey One is the collection's most uncompromising expression, placing peat smoke at its centre without sacrificing balance or complexity.

    Woodrow's of Edinburgh works as an independent bottler and is known for choosing casks that express both the distillery's DNA and their own philosophy of pure, honest, unadulterated whisky.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dry smoke and sea salt meet a deep malt sweetness, with a hint of seaweed and iodine.

    Palate

    Intense peat smoke wraps around an underlying sweetness of honey and malt, carried by a robust salty edge.

    Finish

    Long and smoky, with a lingering ash note and a light sweetness that keeps the balance to the last drop.

    The peat used to smoke the malt on Islay is formed from thousands of years of decomposed plant matter shaped by the island's damp climate, and the unique mix of sea plants and heather is one reason Islay whisky carries its signature briny, smoky flavour.
