✨ Tekniske specifikationer

The Lagavulin 12 Year Old 'White Horse' bottling is a legendary chapter in Scotch whisky history, dating back to the era when the distillery was operated under White Horse Distillers. This highly coveted expression represents an old-school style of Islay distillation, characterized by exceptionally slow runs in pear-shaped stills and maturation in traditional dunnage warehouses right on the shores of Lagavulin Bay. Unlike modern releases, these vintage bottlings from the late 20th century are celebrated for their unique fusion of intense, oily peat smoke, maritime brine, and an unexpected, luscious layer of tropical fruits and beeswax, making it a holy grail for spirits historians and collectors alike.

🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten

Lagavulin blev officielt grundlagt i 1816 af John Johnston og ligger på den vindblæste sydkyst af den skotske ø Islay med udsigt til de dramatiske ruiner af Dunyvaig Castle. Det historiske destilleri ejes i dag af Diageo og er berømt for sin kompromisløse dedikation til traditionelt håndværk, hvor der anvendes kraftigt tørverøget malt og en bemærkelsesværdigt langsom destillation i karakteristiske pæreformede pot stills. Denne omhyggelige proces skaber en intenst fyldig, olieret og kompleks spiritus, der perfekt indfanger den essentielle maritime karakter fra det sydlige Islay. Lagavulin er kendt for sin sublime balance mellem markant tørverøg, havsalt og medicinske undertoner over for en dyb sødme af tørret frugt – en stil, der finder sit ultimative udtryk i deres legendariske 16 Year Old single malt.
