✨ Tekniske specifikationer

The Lagavulin Distillers Edition is a masterclass in wood finishing, representing a harmonious marriage between the rugged, peat-smoked character of Islay and the luscious sweetness of Andalusian sherry. Distilled on the shores of Lagavulin Bay, the spirit undergoes an exceptionally slow distillation in pear-shaped stills, capturing a heavy, oil-rich, and deeply phenolic character. While the standard expression matures in oak casks, the Distillers Edition undergoes a secondary maturation in specially selected Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. This double-maturation process infuses the intense maritime smoke, iodine, and brine of the classic Lagavulin with decadent layers of sun-dried raisins, dark chocolate, and sticky molasses, creating a legendary expression coveted by collectors and connoisseurs alike.

🍾 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.
