Released exclusively for the 2019 Fèis Ìle, the Islay Festival of Music and Malt, this exceptional 19-year-old single malt represents a masterclass in wood selection and slow distillation. Matured in sherry-seasoned American oak casks, it marries Lagavulin's legendary maritime peat smoke and coastal brine with the rich, sweet, and spicy influence of sherry wood. The distillery's pear-shaped stills and unusually slow distillation process allow for maximum copper contact, creating a heavy, oily spirit that ages beautifully. This limited bottling captures the festive spirit of Islay, offering a complex nose of dried fruits, campfire smoke, and dark treacle, balanced by a warming, peppery finish. It stands as a testament to the rugged shores of Lagavulin Bay and the centuries of distilling heritage on Islay.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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
