Lagavulin's Distillers Edition represents a masterful marriage of Islay's rugged, peat-soaked coastal character with the luscious sweetness of Andalusian sherry. First distilled in 1991 and bottled in 2007 under batch number lgv 4/495, this expression undergoes a secondary maturation in specially selected Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The intense, medicinal peat smoke and maritime brine characteristic of Lagavulin's slow distillation in pear-shaped stills are beautifully rounded by the dark fruit, cacao, and molasses notes imparted by the PX wood. According to local lore, the distillery's location at Lagavulin Bay has been a site of distilling since at least the mid-18th century, drawing on the pure, peat-filtered waters of the Solan Lochs. This double-matured expression bridges the gap between the wild, wind-swept Scottish coast and the sun-drenched bodegas of Spain.

Officially established in 1816 by John Johnston on the southern coast of the Isle of Islay, Scotland, Lagavulin is one of the world's most iconic single malt Scotch whisky distilleries, now owned by Diageo. Renowned for its exceptionally slow distillation process in characteristic pear-shaped stills, the distillery produces a rich, intensely peaty, and complex spirit. Lagavulin's signature style is defined by deep smoke, maritime brine, and dried fruit sweetness, epitomized by its legendary 16 Year Old expression and highly coveted limited releases like the 12 Year Old Special Releases and historic older bottlings matured in oak casks over decades-long periods of quiet aging on the shores of Lagavulin Bay Port Ellen Islay Scotland United Kingdom PA42 7DZ Scotland United Kingdom https://www.malts.com/en-row/distilleries/lagavulin
