Lagavulin Distillers Edition

Lagavulin Distillers Edition Single Malt Whisky

The Lagavulin Distillers Edition is a true masterpiece from the heart of Islay, where smoke, sea, and time come together to create an unforgettable whisky experience. Taking the iconic Lagavulin 16 Year Old as its foundation, this expression undergoes an additional maturation in Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks, adding a luscious sweetness to the distillery’s famously bold and smoky profile. The result is a whisky that’s rich, complex, and undeniably luxurious.

Lagavulin, synonymous with deep peat smoke and maritime influence, takes its craft to the next level with this Distillers Edition. The PX casks impart a velvety richness that softens and enhances the whisky’s rugged core, delivering a balance that is nothing short of extraordinary.

On the nose, expect an alluring mix of intense peat smoke, dried figs, and raisins, complemented by hints of dark chocolate and a touch of salted caramel. It’s a sensory journey that immediately evokes the windswept shores of Islay. The palate is equally impressive, with waves of smoky bacon, sweet treacle, and ripe prunes layered over Lagavulin’s signature maritime brininess. Spicy oak and a touch of black pepper provide depth, while the sherry influence adds a syrupy smoothness.

The finish is long, warming, and beautifully complex, with smoky embers lingering alongside notes of dark fruit, toffee, and a subtle nuttiness. Bottled at 43% ABV, the Lagavulin Distillers Edition is as approachable as it is intricate, making it a standout choice for both Islay aficionados and those looking to explore the world of peated whisky.

Whether enjoyed neat, with a drop of water, or paired with rich foods like dark chocolate or blue cheese, this whisky shines as an indulgent treat. Lagavulin Distillers Edition is a celebration of Islay’s heritage, offering a bold yet refined expression that’s perfect for any whisky collection.
