✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 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.
