✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Lagavulin's Feis Ile releases are legendary among whisky collectors, crafted specifically to celebrate the annual Islay Festival of Music and Malt. The 16 Year Old Feis Ile bottling represents a hand-selected, limited-edition expression of the distillery's iconic peated single malt. Distilled on the shores of Lagavulin Bay, this spirit undergoes an exceptionally slow distillation in pear-shaped stills, allowing maximum copper contact to develop its complex, oily character. For the Feis Ile editions, the whisky is typically matured in specially selected casks—often incorporating sherry or other fortified wine casks for a double maturation—and bottled at cask strength. This results in an intense, multi-layered profile where Lagavulin's signature coastal peat smoke, medicinal brine, and lapsang souchong tea notes are beautifully integrated with deep dried-fruit sweetness, dark chocolate, and rich oak spices.
🍾 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.
