Full-bodied Lagavulin is richly peated, smoky and intense on the palate. Mightiest of the Islay malts in style, it has a salty edge of sea-spray. To reveal the full depth and complexity of this distiller's edition, our master distiller has hand-selected a small number of casks for double maturation in specially crafted Pedro Ximenez cask-wood. Its accents of rich, sun-dried grape sweetness have been chosen to complement this spectacular single malt's rich, complex style. A limited release made usually just once a year, the distillers edition enjoys both rarity and superior quality. The packaging carries the symbol of the distillery and the proud name of Mackie & Son, who brought the distillery to fame. Each bottle carries a batch number, which designates the selected casks specially crafted for double maturation. This is an unforgettable, richly flavored malt whisky with intense layers of raisin sweetness and smoky flavor.
