From the Lagavulin distillery on the island of Islay comes this fantastic Distillers Edition, a superb single malt.
Some would say this is by far the most popular of the series, a double-matured Lagavulin, this has had a finishing period in sweet, sticky Pedro Ximénez sherry casks.
Thick and honeyed with characteristic smoky notes, these Distillers Editions from Lagavulin are always an excellent excuse to crack open a box of dark chocolates alongside your whisky after dinner.
Nose: Smoked, woody aromas of truffle oak, allspice and dry hay with a hint of nutmeg, delicious rum and raisin ice cream before finally prunes.
Palate: Smoked prune juice, porcini mushroom. A rich taste of christmas cake with a nice helping of rum and rich chocolate.
Finish: Demerara rum, cocoa powder and black pepper.
