Lagavulin Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Offerman Edition Charred Oak Cask 11 year 750 ml

A collaboration between Islay's Lagavulin distillery and actor and whisky fan Nick Offerman, the Offerman Edition Charred Oak Cask is an 11-year single malt Scotch matured in heavily charred ex-bourbon and ex-red wine casks. That combination layers dark fruit over the distillery's signature coastal peat. The nose is peaty and rich with chocolate, treacle, and red berry; the palate runs pungent and woody with cocoa, spice, and sweet berry; the finish lands warm, spicy, and long. The extra char and wine-cask influence give it a sweeter, more brooding character than the core 16-year. Pour it neat with a few drops of water, after dinner or alongside a medium-rare steak, as the distillery suggests.

How to drink Lagavulin Offerman Edition Charred Oak Cask

At 46% ABV it can take a splash more water than the standard 16-year without falling apart, which loosens the char and dark fruit further. It's built primarily for sipping, but the smoke holds up in a Boulevardier for drinkers who want peat to come through a stirred cocktail.
