✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Lagavulin Distillers Edition represents a masterful marriage of peat and sweet. First distilled in the slow, pear-shaped copper pot stills of Islay's southern coast, this single malt undergoes its primary maturation in traditional oak casks before being transferred for a secondary maturation, or 'double-mating', in casks that previously held rich, sticky Pedro Xim nez (PX) sherry. This finishing process softens the fierce, medicinal peat smoke and coastal brine of the classic Lagavulin character, wrapping it in layers of dark raisins, prunes, treacle, and warming spices. The history of the distillery, dating back to 1816, is deeply intertwined with the rugged Islay landscape, where the damp sea air and peat bogs impart a legendary maritime signature to the spirit.
🍾 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.
