✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This legendary single cask release represents an extraordinary partnership and a golden era of Islay distilling. 'The Syndicate' is an exclusive association of Islay estates and whisky enthusiasts who, over the decades, managed to secure some of the finest casks directly from the island's distilleries. Distilled in 1979 and matured for three decades in a single oak cask (Cask No. 113) before being bottled in 2009, this ultra-rare expression showcases the majestic transformation of Lagavulin's spirit over time. The distillery's signature slow distillation in pear-shaped stills and coastal warehouse aging on the shores of Lagavulin Bay have softened the intense, youthful peat smoke into an incredibly complex, elegant tapestry. It reveals deep layers of dried dark fruits, old leather, beeswax, maritime brine, and a refined, lingering peat smoke that only thirty years of patient maturation can bestow.
🍾 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.
