Lagavulin Islay Single Malt Distillers Edition 750ml

Lagavulin Islay Single Malt Distillers Edition is a 16-year-old single malt Scotch from the Lagavulin distillery on Islay, made from 100% malted barley and finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks after its standard maturation, bottled at 43% ABV. The PX finish mellows Lagavulin's famously intense peat into something richer and sweeter, layering cooked fruit and chocolate over the distillery's signature smoke. Expect a rich, chewy character with iodine and smoke coming through on the finish alongside hay and tobacco, a more balanced sweet-and-savory profile than Lagavulin's standard bottling. It's a pour for Islay drinkers who want the distillery's peat with a sherry-driven softness layered on top.

How to drink Lagavulin Distillers Edition

Take it neat in a tulip glass to let the PX sherry sweetness and peat smoke develop together — this is a whisky built to be smelled as much as tasted. A single large cube is fine if you want it slightly cooler, but skip a full pour of ice, which mutes the cooked-fruit sweetness the sherry cask adds.
