✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Lagavulin Distillers Edition represents a masterclass in double maturation, where the distillery's legendary, slow-distilled Islay single malt is finished in sweet Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. This specific batch, lgv.4/510 bottled in 2021, showcases the dramatic interplay between Lagavulin's signature intense peat smoke, maritime brine, and the rich, dark-fruit sweetness of the PX cask. Nestled on the rocky shores of Lagavulin Bay since 1816, the distillery's pear-shaped stills produce a heavy, oily spirit. The double maturation process tames the wild, medicinal peat of Islay with layers of sticky dates, raisins, and roasted cacao, creating a deeply complex dram that beautifully bridges the gap between smoke and sweetness.
🍾 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.
