Standaard prijs:
The smoky, peated Lagavulin is seen as the ultimate expression of the Islay region. Lagavulin Distiller’s Edition is double-matured in Pedro Ximenez cask wood, a wine derived from intensely flavoured sun-dried grapes, expertly selected for its raisiny sweetness to magically accentuate and deepen every aspect of the intense, rich character of Lagavulin.

Kleur
Rich, deep amber.
Geur
Satisfying and enticing; intense peat, vanilla. A raisiny sweetness checks the smoke. Crisp, toasty malt.
Smaak
Sweet and luscious; clear malt, smoke fills the mouth. Very salty tang; coffee, vanilla, a glimmer of fruit.
Finish
Incredibly long, even for Islay. Fruit, peat, and long-lasting oak. Very engaging and enjoyable.
Uncover the history behind the liquid. In 1742 there were at least ten illicit stills at Lagavulin, and it would be another 74 years until local farmer John Johnston founded the first legal distillery, in sight of Dunyvaig Castle. Its name may have changed over the years, but the quiet power of peat and smoke that pervades this masculine malt has not. Islay, the 'Queen of the Hebrides', is probably best known for its peaty, smoky whiskies. Some say they are the best in the whole world. Home to eight working distilleries, Islay definitely has the process of making the stuff down to a fine art. Sláinte!
