HTFW Cat. No: LP4043
Cask Strength Distillery Bottling

The oldest official bottling of Lagavulin......ever!! Launched as part of the 2013 special releases from Diageo, this is an absolute diamond of a whisky.

Bottled at natural cask strength of 51% abv and matured in a combination of refill American oak and European oak casks. One of only 1868 bottles produced worldwide.

Oily and elegant on the nose with an earthiness and tobacco element. There is also a delicate sweetmess, sootiness and herbaceousness, very understated. The palate has a ashy quality, fruity with light grapefruit overtones. There is also slight coastal notes (oysters, rockpools) nuttiness and milk chocolate. Still a restrained balance to it.

The finish is very long, ashy and dry. A most complex and delicate, balanced whisky that would grace any shelf.

Tasting Notes

Deep amber with burnished copper highlights, a rich sunlit oak-gold glow.

Nose

Oily and elegant on the nose, with earthy depth and a tobacco nuance. A delicate sweetness threads through, complemented by subtle sootiness and herbaceous undertones, restrained and refined.

Palate

An ashy, elegant palate with fruity liveliness and light grapefruit overtones. Subtle coastal notes of oysters and rockpools mingle with nutty flavors and milk chocolate, all held in a restrained, cask-strength poise that carries to a long, dry finish.

Finish

A very long, ashy and dry finish.

Lagavulin
(laga-VOO-lin) Lagavulin was officially founded in 1816 by John Johnston on Islay’s south coast near Port Ellen, though records suggest illicit distilling on the site as far back as the 1740s. Peter Mackie later became one of the most important figures in its history, using Lagavulin as a key part of White Horse and building the short-lived Malt Mill distillery within the grounds in 1908. Malt Mill was later absorbed back into Lagavulin, adding one of the more unusual chapters in the distillery’s history.
