Released as a highly anticipated collaboration celebrating the epic fantasy series Game of Thrones, this special 9-year-old single malt from Lagavulin represents the formidable and wealthy House Lannister, bearing their iconic roaring lion. Distilled on the rugged shores of Islay, Scotland, this expression departs slightly from Lagavulin's traditional sherry-cask influence by maturing exclusively in first-fill ex-bourbon casks. This wood selection coaxes out a brilliant golden color and infuses the spirit with rich notes of caramelized banana, sweet vanilla, and toasted marshmallow. These sweet, decadent layers beautifully counterpoint Lagavulin's signature coastal brine, intense peat smoke, and salted caramel undertones, reflecting the complex, calculating nature of the Lannister lineage.
🍾 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
