Description

Islay Single Malt Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 43%

The 2022 release of the splendid Lagavulin Distillers Edition, which must be the most popular of all the Classic Malts Distillers Editions, in no small part because of its double maturation / finishing period in casks seasoned with Pedro Ximenez sherry.

The Classic Malts Lagavulin Distillers Edition is the most high profile sherry-finished Islay single malt whisky, and has become the standard for the classic (if difficult to achieve) combination of smoky peat and sweet sherry flavours.

Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep amber. Fine beading. Good viscosity.

Body:
Full.

Nose:
Deep and expressive, as aromas of dark oak and raisins dowsed in liquor reveal the sweet wine cask, and restrain the eager peat, wrapping fragrant smoke in grounded notes of oak and wine. In time the smoke rises, as if to reflect the unquenchable intensity within.

Palate:
A natural strength, oily and sweet-spicy to start, the sweetness fully integrated and never cloying, delivering a fruity, raisin-sweet smokiness throughout that is rich in dark intent and roasted malt alike. The smokiness intensifies as the peat asserts itself. Saltiness joins it, the whole becoming drying, with a hint of espresso coffee grounds. The rich sweetness is beautifully integrated with the smoke, salt and spice.

Finish:
So very long, and darkly smoky; delightfully warming in its deep, dark oak-spiciness. Lingering smoke in the aftertaste.
