Description

A prized Lagavulin, from the last two 1993 casks, this 28-year-old expression was filled in the year the distillery won the first of an avalanche of international awards, marking the start of a golden era under Manager Grant Carmichael. It was drawn from the final two casks of 1993 whisky, one a Pedro Ximenez/Oloroso seasoned butt and one a refill American Oak Hogshead, and bottled at natural cask strength. This release is part of the Prima & Ultima series, Diageo's ultra-premium range, and was bottled in 2021. Only 642 bottles were produced worldwide.

Series highlights
Part of the 'Prima & Ultima' series, described as Diageo's ultra-premium and most prestigious whisky range. This is the Third Release in the series, which comprised 8 whiskies selected by Dr Jim Beveridge OBE.
Historical context
The year of distillation, 1993, marked the start of a golden era for the distillery, when it won the first of an avalanche of international awards, under Manager Grant Carmichael.
Special release
This release marks the end of the 1993 vintage for Lagavulin, being drawn from the last two casks of that year.
Allocation
N.A
Nose
A mellow nose with light prickle. Redcurrant fruitiness is soon overcome by maritime scents of sea-salt and sweet seaweed on a base of woodsmoke.
Palate
Lightly oily and smooth in texture. An immediately sweet and lightly spicy start with winey fruit, a balancing pinch of salt and soon, appreciable pepper and smoke flooding through. Rich in style, with drying oak tannins and lightly drying later.
Finish
Long, with a deep peppery smokiness: slightly mouth-cooling, with more smoke in the peaty aftertaste.
