Description

Like most Islay malts, Lagavulin is definitely not for the faint hearted. The distillery was officially founded in 1816 (although illicit production on the site most certainly predates that), and produces malt with a signature style of earthy smoke and savoury undertones. 1962 marked a significant point in the distillery's history, as it was then bought by John Logan Mackie, whose nephew Peter wen ... A distillery-exclusive Lagavulin bottled in 2018 at 53.5% ABV with an outturn of 6,000 bottles. Matured in first-fill bourbon and additional oak, it was released as a special edition available only through the distillery. The combination of first-fill bourbon and oak brings layered wood influence to Lagavulin's signature heavily peated Islay profile, weaving smoke and maritime character with rich oak spice and sweetness.
