✨ Tekniske specifikationer

The Lagavulin Distillers Edition is a masterclass in the art of double maturation, representing a harmonious marriage between Islay's rugged maritime peat and the opulent sweetness of Andalusian sherry. This expression undergoes a secondary maturation in casks that previously held luscious Pedro Ximenez (PX) sherry. This finishing process beautifully softens Lagavulin's legendary, uncompromising peat smoke and medicinal brine, layering it with rich notes of sticky dates, sun-dried raisins, and dark cacao. The slow, deliberate distillation in Lagavulin's pear-shaped stills captures the true, untamed spirit of the Islay coastline, while the PX cask finish introduces a sophisticated, velvety warmth that has made the Distillers Edition a highly anticipated annual release for whisky connoisseurs worldwide.

🍾 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.
