Lagavulin 16 Year King of Islay (750ml) is $79.99 at CBC Liquors, Westford in Massachusetts — in stock now, with pickup and local delivery. Though not officially (read, legally) established until 1816, there are records that date distillation here going back to 1742. Malted barley produced just a hop, skip, and a jump away at neighboring Port Ellen is utilized. Everything is long at this distillery: fermentation, distillation, and maturation. Good things do indeed come to those that wait. Bottled at 43% ABV after 16 years in oak barrels.
