Description

This limited-edition 15-year-old Lagavulin was released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the annual Islay Jazz Festival in 2023. It was initially matured in refill American oak and then finished in ex-Oloroso sherry butts, adding elegant dried fruit and walnut flavors to Lagavulin's signature intense smoke. Bottled at natural cask strength of 53.9% ABV, only 3,000 bottles were produced, exclusively available at the Lagavulin distillery. [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20]
