A rare vintage 1995 bottling of the 16 years old Lagavulin Double Matured Distillers Edition Special Release Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the year 2011. This special 16 year-old single malt whisky of the Classic Malts Selection from the Islay legend Lagavulin was distilled in 1995, double matured for up to 6 months in European Pedro Ximenez Sherry oak casks - these give the whisky more fruit, such as raisins and dry fruits and a syrupy character. The whisky was bottled in the year 2011 at 43.0% vol. and the batch number lgv.04/499 under the direction of Distiller Manager Georgie Crawford.
This is the definitive Islay Malt - untameable, with the strongest peat flavour of any of the malt whiskies from this wild island shore. Its dry, complex strength of character, with characteristic notes of sea-spray, is perfectly matched by the sweet accents of sun-dried grapes derived from Pedro Ximenez cask-wood in which this special edition has been doubly matured. As a result, this is a rich, peaty malt with a sweet undertone.
Ingenious and complex, this well matured Islay single malt delivers the expected Lagavulin intensity with elegance and style.
A wonderful Lagavulin Islay single malt and beautiful old bottling for connoisseurs and whisky collectors that is hard to find today!
