✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Released in 2016 to commemorate the bicentenary of the legendary Islay distillery founded in 1816, the Lagavulin 25 Year Old 200th Anniversary Edition is a historic bottling that pays tribute to two centuries of distilling excellence on the rugged shores of Lagavulin Bay. This exceptional single malt was matured exclusively in sherry casks for a quarter of a century, allowing the distillery's signature intense peat smoke and maritime brine to beautifully integrate with deep, rich notes of dried figs, dark chocolate, and warm wood spices. Bottled at cask strength, it represents a rare, complex, and deeply historical expression of Islay's unique peat-rich terroir and slow distillation heritage.
🍾 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.
