Lagavulin 1994 | 15 Year Old Islay Festival 2010 Single Cask 3210

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 52.7%

A remarkable single cask Lagavulin Islay single malt whisky, specially bottled to celebrate Feis Ile 2010. Cask number 3210 was filled on 1st August 1994 and matured in a European Ex-Sherry Cask. It was bottled in early 2010 without chill filtration or colouring at a natural cask strength of 52.7%.

Interestingly, there are only a handful of Lagavulins with a 1994 vintage, and only two known official bottlings that actually specify the 1994 vintage: this Feis Ile release and the Distillers Edition bottled in 2010.

This is quite surprising given that the owner at the time, United Distillers & Vintners (now Diageo), had begun ramping up production following low activity in the 1980s and early 1990s. During this period, the distillery continued to use malt from Port Ellen and, in 1994, maintained its reputation as a core component of the White Horse blend.
