✨ Technical Specifications
Born from an illustrious partnership between the historic Lagavulin Distillery and actor Nick Offerman, this remarkable 11-year-old single malt represents a cross-cultural celebration of smoke and stout. After maturing in traditional oak, the whisky underwent a distinctive four-month finishing period in casks that previously held Guinness stout. This union marries Islay's legendary maritime peat smoke, brine, and iodine with the rich, velvety textures of the dark Irish brew. The result is an exquisite dram where classic Lagavulin bonfire smoke meets notes of roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, and sweet malted barley, paying homage to both Scottish distilling heritage and Irish brewing tradition.
🍾 About the Producer
Officially established in 1816 by John Johnston, Lagavulin is situated on the windswept southern coast of the Isle of Islay, Scotland, overlooking the dramatic ruins of Dunyvaig Castle. Today owned by Diageo, the historic distillery is celebrated for its uncompromising dedication to traditional methods, utilising heavily peated malt and remarkably slow distillation in distinctive pear-shaped pot stills. This meticulous process yields an intensely rich, oily, and complex spirit that embodies the quintessential maritime character of southern Islay. Renowned for balancing ferocious peat smoke, brine, and medicinal notes with deep dried-fruit sweetness, Lagavulin achieves its definitive expression in its legendary 16 Year Old single malt.
