✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Lagavulin Distillers Edition represents an exquisite marriage of Islay's rugged, peat-smoked character with the luscious sweetness of Spanish fortified wine casks. Distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2015 under batch lgv.4/504, this expression undergoes a meticulous double maturation process. After spending its primary years maturing in traditional oak casks, the whisky is finished in casks that previously held sweet, rich Pedro Xim nez sherry. This finishing process beautifully tempers Lagavulin's legendary medicinal smoke, iodine, and intense coastal peat with deep, velvety layers of sun-dried raisins, dates, dark cacao, and warming baking spices. It is a dramatic sensory journey that captures both the wild, wind-swept shores of Lagavulin Bay and the historic, sun-drenched bodegas of Jerez.
🍾 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.
