The Lagg Corriecravie Edition Sherry Cask Finish 55% is a remarkable single malt whisky from the Lagg Distillery, nestled on the picturesque Isle of Arran in the Islands region. Bottled in 2023, this limited-edition release is part of the distillery's core range and offers whisky enthusiasts a truly unique experience. The whisky undergoes an initial maturation in bourbon barrels, followed by an approximately six-month finish in Oloroso sherry hogsheads from the renowned Bodega Jose & Miguel Martin in Jerez, Spain. This dual maturation process imparts a rich complexity to the whisky, which is non-chill filtered and free of added coloring, allowing its natural character to shine through at a robust 55% ABV.
On the nose, the Lagg Corriecravie Edition greets you with a captivating blend of dark chocolate, bitter apples, raisins, and the distinctive walnuts typical of sherry, all swirled together with the distillate's heavy smoke. Adding a splash of water reveals a sweet earthiness that heightens the olfactory experience. The palate is both rich and mouth-watering, presenting flavors of red berries, dark chocolate, figs, nuts, and sweet spice, underpinned by smoky and charred embers. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving lingering notes of charred oak, earth tea, bitter oranges, smoky hazelnut, and dark chocolate, with an intriguing hint of sweet spice.
Styled as a peated genever, the Lagg Corriecravie Edition boasts a dynamic and heavy, ashy smokiness, complemented by touches of aquavit, myrtle, and eucalyptus. The six-month Oloroso sherry finish adds a fruity and herbal dimension that perfectly balances the whisky's smoky core. This well-balanced and complex whisky is a must-try for collectors and enthusiasts alike, making it a prized addition to any whisky collection.
