Lagavulin Black Gold
Cocktail Recipe

Smoky

Bittersweet

Coffee

Black Gold is a bold, spirit-forward whisky cocktail that pairs the deep peat smoke of Lagavulin with rich coffee liqueur and bright orange bitters. Stirred and served over ice, it’s a simple yet striking serve where smoky, roasty and citrus notes come together, finished with a pinch of salt to enhance depth and balance.
