The Lagavulin Distillers Edition whisky bottle is a 1999 distillation, bottled in 2015, making it a 16-year-old single malt from the Classic Malts Selection. This edition undergoes a secondary maturation in European Pedro Ximenez Sherry oak casks for up to six months, which imparts a more fruity and syrupy character to the whisky. The Distillers Edition is celebrated for its rich and intense profile, accentuated and deepened by the Pedro Ximenez finish, adding a magical touch to its raisiny sweetness. Lagavulin's roots can be traced back to the 18th century, with whisky production starting at the current site in 1742. Although the exact age of the distillery is uncertain due to the presence of numerous illegal distilleries along the southern coast of Islay, Lagavulin's history can be definitively traced back to 1816. Today, Lagavulin is part of the Diageo conglomerate and produces approximately 2.2 million liters of whisky per year using two wash and two spirit stills. The Lagavulin Distillers Edition is characterized by its peaty, smoky, and iodine-like aroma, while also revealing notes of vanilla, sweet raisins, malt, coffee, fruits, and oak. It pairs well with seafood and cheese, and is best enjoyed with a drop of water.
