✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Released exclusively for the Feis Ile (the Islay Festival of Music and Malt) in 2015, this extraordinary 24-year-old single malt represents a pinnacle of Lagavulin's craft. Distilled in 1991 and matured in European oak ex-sherry casks, it bridges the gap between the distillery's legendary maritime peat smoke and the deep, resinous sweetness of historic sherry wood. The slow distillation in Lagavulin's pear-shaped stills on the windswept shores of Islay allows the spirit to absorb the coastal elements over more than two decades, resulting in an incredibly complex dram layered with rich dried fruits, dark chocolate, bonfire smoke, and sea spray.
🍾 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.
