✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted specifically for the annual Islay Jazz Festival, this limited 2024 release represents a harmonious duet between Lagavulin's legendary peat smoke and the rich, structured influence of Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks. Aged for 14 years on the windswept shores of Islay, the spirit benefits from the distillery's famously slow distillation in pear-shaped stills. The finishing period in red wine casks introduces an elegant layer of dark red berries, blackcurrant, and subtle tannins to Lagavulin's signature coastal brine, bonfire smoke, and medicinal complexity. It is a celebratory bottling that honors both the vibrant musical heritage of the festival and the timeless craftsmanship of Islay distilling.
🍾 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.
