It’s quite a legacy to carry in a bay from which the sons of Somerled, Lord of the Isles, sailed to war; a bay guarded still by his ruined castle, Dunyvaig. Barley malted over local peat smoke imbues Lagavulin with its rich mix of shoreline airs and scented, smoky dryness. Here’s a whisky so intense it turns away the cold. Lagavulins special editions and older releases are vanishingly rare and highly sought after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DISTILLERS EDITION is a collection of master-craftsmanship. Each cask in the series is individually selected and perfectly matched to the character of each of the single malts refined here. The two-parted maturation process gives more depth and complexity, which is the idea behind the limited DISTILLERS EDITION: preserving the perfection of the single malts that have already been awarded for their outstanding flavours. The selected taste nuances are more strongly accentuated in a way that is not found in the regular bottlings, but with fully maintaining the original character of these fine single malts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSCOTLAND'S FINEST - Since 1997, the Distillers Editions have been an annual release of limited quantities, each very much true to its origins yet possessing a rich depth, complexity and nuance of flavour not found in the regular release. This excellent Lagavulin whisky has been firstly matured in Refill American and European Oak casks. With the second maturation finished in Pedro Ximenz-seasoned re-charred American Oak with heavily re-charred new AO ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePURE FLAVOUR - This unforgettable Distillers Edition of Lagavulin delivers an extra rich raisin-sweet flavour, with a dark smokiness that intensifies as the peat grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"accordion-head mx-[2px] flex w-[calc(100%_-_4px)] items-center justify-between gap-4 border-b border-black\/10 pb-[0.875rem] pt-[0.375rem] text-left font-normal text-[rgb(51,46,50)] group-[.has-dark-background]:border-white\/20 group-[.has-dark-background]:text-white md:pb-4 lg:pb-[1.125rem]\" id=\"headlessui-disclosure-button-_r_52_\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" data-headlessui-state=\"open\" aria-controls=\"headlessui-disclosure-panel-_r_53_\" data-open=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci class=\"ri-subtract-line leading-none text-24\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-14 leading-base h-0 overflow-hidden px-[2px] font-normal\" id=\"headlessui-disclosure-panel-_r_53_\" data-headlessui-state=\"open\" data-open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-12 md:text-14 font-sans space-y-4 pt-2 md:space-y-5 md:pt-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"font-medium\"\u003eNose\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2\"\u003eDeep and expressive, as aromas of dark oak and raisins dowsed in liquor reveal the sweet wine cask, and restrain the eager peat, wrapping fragrant smoke in grounded notes of oak and wine.

The smokiness intensifies as the peat asserts itself. Saltiness joins it, the whole becoming drying, with a hint of espresso coffee grounds. The rich sweetness is beautifully integrated with the smoke, salt and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"font-medium\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2\"\u003eSo very long, and darkly smoky; delightfully warming in its deep, dark oak-spiciness.
