Product Description

This unforgettable Distiller's Edition of Lagavulin delivers an extra rich raisin-sweet flavor, with a dark smokiness that intensifies as the peat grows. Full bodied and richly peated, Lagavulin is the mightiest of the Islay malts, both in style and intensity. To reveal the full depth and complexity of this single malt whisky, the Master Distiller hand selected a small number of casks for double maturation in Pedro Ximenez seasoned American oak. Its accents of rich, sun-dried grape sweetness were chosen to complement this spectacular single malt's rich, complex style. The Pedro Ximenez seasoned casks impart a sweetness and spice that together with the smoke set this whsky apart. Deep amber in color this malt's raisin-rich sweetness is enveloped in a wonderfully intense peaty smoke. Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

What critics and judges wrote

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
This whisky is rich and chewy loaded with cooked fruits. … The peat smoke is less intense on the palate than the standard 16 year Lagavulin as the beauty of the wine appears to have tamed the beast of a whisky.

Stewed fruits, pears and green apples lead on the nose … The palate weaves together rich sweetness, orchard fruits and sultry smoke, all drizzled with salted caramel. The finish offers black pepper, asphalt and rubber, honey, toffee, and oak.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
