The Lagavulin Jazz Festival 22 Year Old, bottled in 2020, represents a harmonious duet between Islay's rugged maritime terroir and the refined artistry of long-term maturation. Since 2010, Lagavulin has sponsored the Islay Jazz Festival, bringing world-class music to this remote Scottish island. To celebrate, the distillery releases highly coveted, limited-edition bottlings. This 22-year-old expression showcases Lagavulin's signature intense peat smoke and coastal brine, beautifully mellowed by over two decades of quiet slumber on the shores of Lagavulin Bay. The extended aging in oak casks introduces elegant layers of dried dark fruits, rich molasses, and warm baking spices that perfectly balance the spirit's medicinal and smoky backbone.

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
