A peaty powerhouse refined by sherry cask sweetness.
- Intense peat smoke meets dried fruit, treacle, and dark chocolate, with hints of sea salt and spice. The finish is long, layered, and luxuriously smooth.
- After initial maturation, this edition is finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, adding depth and sweetness to Lagavulin's signature maritime smokiness.
- Produced at Lagavulin Distillery on Islay, known for its slow distillation and heavily peated malt, this bottling showcases the distillery's ability to balance boldness with finesse.
- The Distillers Edition series is released annually, with each vintage showcasing subtle differences in character, making it a favourite among collectors and peat lovers alike.
- Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its full complexity, or with a few drops of water to reveal hidden layers of fruit and spice.
- Vintage: 2021
- Type/Colour: Single Malt Whisky
- Alcohol: 43%
- Bottle Size: 70cl
- Country: Scotland
The distillery of Lagavulin officially dates from 1816, when John Jonston and Archibald Campbell constructed two distilleries on the site. One of them became Lagavulin, taking over the other—which one is not exactly known. Records show illicit distillation in at least ten illegal distilleries on the site as far back as 1742, however. In the 19th century, several legal battles ensued with their neighbour Laphroaig, brought about after the distiller at Lagavulin, Sir Peter Mackie, leased the Laphroaig distillery. It is said that Mackie attempted to copy Laphroaig's style. Since the water and peat at Lagavulin's premises was different from that at Laphroaig's, the result was different. The Lagavulin distillery is located in the town of the same name.
