Lagavulin Distillers Edition Double Matured in Pedro Ximénez Casks

Lagavulin Distillers Edition is an annual limited release that enhances the classic Islay single malt by double maturing it in ex-Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks. This secondary maturation imparts a rich sweetness to the whisky, complementing Lagavulin's signature peaty and smoky character. Bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof), this expression offers a harmonious balance of smoke, sweetness, and complexity. 

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Clear amber with slow-developing legs, indicating a rich, full-bodied whisky.

• Nose: Aromas of intense peat smoke intertwined with raisin sweetness, toffee, caramel, and hints of sea salt and oak spice. 

• Palate: A rich and chewy mouthfeel featuring flavors of cooked fruits, treacle toffee, and a subtle medicinal note, all enveloped in a mellow peat smoke. 

• Finish: Long and smoky with lingering notes of dried fruit, cocoa, and a touch of spice, leaving a warm and satisfying aftertaste. 

This expression is a testament to Lagavulin's craftsmanship, offering a nuanced and layered whisky that appeals to both peat enthusiasts and those seeking a sweeter, more complex Islay malt.
