Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 43%

An old bottle of Lagavulin 1993 Distillers Edition released in 2009 when these DE bottlings still had declared vintages.

Lagavulin has always been one of the most popular of the Distillers Edition range of whiskies, which are all finished in different types of fortified wines before bottling to add an extra dimension of sweet nutty flavours.  This Lagavulin Distillers Edition was finished in casks that previously held Pedro Ximenez sherry, giving a lovely combination of earthy peat smoke and concentrated raisin sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Intense peat and vanilla. A raisin sweetness checks the smoke. Iodine-edged peat and crisp, roasty malt. Satisfying and enticing.

Body: Full and rich.

Palate: Sweet and luscious; a clear, grassy malt, then the peat attacks, smoke filling the mouth. A very salty tang at one point; the middle offers coffee and vanilla with a glimmer of fruit.

Finish: Incredibly long, even for Islay. Fruit, peat and long-lasting oak. Very chewable and “more-ish”.
