Part of Diageo's highly prestigious and curated Prima & Ultima series, this extraordinary 28-year-old single malt was distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2021. Hand-selected by Master Blender Maureen Robinson, this release represents a historic liquid milestone, captured from refill American oak casks that quietly matured on the windswept shores of Islay. Over nearly three decades of slumber, the distillery's signature intense, medicinal peat smoke has beautifully mellowed, transforming into a sophisticated and complex profile. It weaves together notes of smoldering driftwood, brine, lapsang souchong tea, and a surprising, delicate sweetness of dried orchard fruits, all carried by a rich, oily texture that speaks to Lagavulin's legendary slow distillation process.
