✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Released to celebrate the virtual Feis Ile (Islay Festival of Music and Malt) in 2020, this highly coveted 20-year-old single malt represents a historic moment for the legendary Lagavulin distillery. Matured in a combination of refill and freshly charred American oak hogsheads, this expression showcases the profound depth that decades of maturation on the windswept shores of Lagavulin Bay can bring. It weaves Lagavulin's signature intense peat smoke and maritime brine with sweet caramel, toasted oak, and rich dried fruit notes, offering a complex sensory journey that pays homage to Islay's rich distilling heritage and the resilient spirit of its global community during a unique year.

🍾 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.
