The Lagavulin Jazz Festival Bottled 2017 is a highly collectible, limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky created to celebrate the annual Islay Jazz Festival, an event where world-class music meets the rugged, wind-swept shores of Islay. This specific 2017 expression was crafted by marrying whiskies matured in refill American oak hogsheads and first-fill ex-Bodega Sherry casks. This dual maturation imparts a stunning complexity, balancing Lagavulin's legendary intense peat smoke, maritime brine, and iodine with rich, sweet notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and warming spices. Distilled slowly in Lagavulin's signature pear-shaped stills and aged in warehouses kissing the edge of the sea, this whisky captures the soulful harmony of Islay's wild terroir and the creative spirit of the festival.

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
