2023 Lagavulin 'The Distillers Edition' Double Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Islay, Scotland

The real treasure of the Scottish Isles.

Lagavulin Distillery, located in the wild and untamed Hebridean Isles, is a one-of-a-kind operation that's been around since 1742 (when things were a bit more secretive if you get our drift). Fast forward to 1816, and they've been making legitimate, smoky-rich Spirits ever since. Using the "low and slow" distillation and their signature pear-shaped pot stills, their Whisky is aged for a minimum of 16 years in oak casks, resulting in a complex blend of peat smoke, seaweed, and wood. But here’s the thing. A sip of their smoky nectar will either transport you to Whisky heaven or will have you running for cover. In any case, Lagavulin has remained one of the top picks among true Scotch Whisky aficionados, including the famous Parks and Recreation star Nick Offerman who lovingly calls it "mother's milk." 

Lagavulin 2023 Distiller's Edition Whisky was nurtured in the embrace of American Oak and European Oak casks and refined in Pedro Ximenez-seasoned re-charred American Oak casks with re-charred new AO ends. This 86 proof potion unveils its full-bodied allure with a sweetly spicy entrance, a prelude to the fruity, raisin-infused smokiness that grows stronger with every breath of peat. Notes of rich espresso coffee grounds lead into a spicy-smoky finish that even the mighty Islay nods to in approval. With such an exceptional and timeless smoky character like the Lagavulin Distiller's Edition, there's only one way to indulge—classic Whisky glass in hand, whether neat or with a splash of water.
