Lagavulin 11 Sweet Peat: price per drink

The Whisky Desk

@thewhiskydesk · 2026-10-22 · from the Lagavulin desk

Caol Ila 12 costs $2 more a bottle than Laphroaig 10, yet at 43% against 40% it's the cheaper drink: $4.17 a standard drink against $4.39. Stand the neighbours alongside and Bowmore 12 slots between the two at $4.30, Ardbeg 10 sits a little beyond at $4.76, and Lagavulin 11 Sweet Peat keeps its own company at $6.95. A pint at the pub runs about $13, near enough two standard drinks, so around $6.28 each. Caol Ila, Bowmore, Ardbeg and Laphroaig all pour for less than that at home; the Lagavulin asks a little more.
