This full-bodied Lagavulin is richly peated, smoky and intense on the palate. Mightiest of the Islay malts in style, it has a salty edge of sea spray. To reveal the full depth and complexity of the 'Distillers Edition' of Lagavulin, their Master Distiller has hand-selected a small number of casks for double maturation in specially crafted Pedro Ximenez cask wood. Its accents of rich, sun-dried grape sweetness have been chosen to complement this spectacular single malts rich complex character. This is a limited release made usually just once a year, each bottle carries a batch number, which designates the selected casks specially crafted for maturation.
