Lagavulin
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Lagavulin is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky distillery operating on the southern shore of Islay, Scotland, where it has produced heavily peated whisky since 1816. The distillery uses long fermentation times and slow distillation in its famously small pot stills to develop its signature dense, maritime smokiness. The 8 Year Old and the 11 Year Old Offerman Edition expressions - including variants finished in Charred Oak, Caribbean Rum, and Guinness Casks - represent the distillery's more accessible range, while the 12 Year Old Special Release 2023 arrives at cask strength with no chill filtration. The 16 Year Old stands as the definitive house expression, and the Distillers Edition bottlings from 2021 and 2022 layer a double-matured Pedro Ximénez sherry cask finish over that foundational peated character.
