Part of Diageo's highly prestigious Prima & Ultima collection, this rare 28-year-old Lagavulin single malt was distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2021. Selected by Master Blender Maureen Robinson, this expression represents a historic marriage of whiskies matured in Pedro Ximénez sherry-seasoned casks and refill hogsheads. Lagavulin's legendary slow distillation in pear-shaped stills on the windswept shores of Islay yields a spirit of immense depth. Over nearly three decades of coastal maturation, the distillery's signature intense peat smoke and maritime brine have beautifully integrated with the rich, dark fruit sweetness of the PX sherry wood, creating a complex tapestry of dark chocolate, bonfire smoke, and salted caramel.

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
