From the famous Lagavulin single malt distillery on the equally lauded whisky-producing Isle of Islay comes the intense and stunning Lagavulin Distillers Edition. The secret to the distinctive and distinguished taste and texture is that each Distillers Edition expression will be given a second (or ‘double’) maturation in casks that have previously held a fortified wine. Here's where the Pedro Ximinez sherry wood has had a real influence on the Lagavulin Distillers Edition combining with the traditional peatiness of whisky from the Isles. Now available from mybottleshop's range of MyBottleShop's Rare Single Malt Collection, this is a spirit for collectors and lovers of excellent Island whisky.
Lagavulin Distillers Edition Tasting Notes
Appearance: Golden Treacle
Nose: Intense peat and vanilla. A raisin sweetness checks the smoke. Iodine-edged peat and crisp, roasty malt. Satisfying and enticing.
Body: Full and rich.
Palate: Sweet and luscious; a clear, grassy malt, then the peat attacks, smoke filling the mouth. A very salty tang at one point; the middle offers coffee and vanilla with a glimmer of fruit.
Finish: Incredibly long, even for Islay. Fruit, peat and long-lasting oak. Very chewable and “more-ish”.
