Lagavulin 1999 16 Years The Distillers Edition 2015 Double matured in Pedro Ximenez Sherry Wood Special Release lgv.4/504 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 43.0% Vol. - a great Lagavulin Islay Single Malt!
A great vintage 1999 bottling of the 16 years-old Laguvulin s Double Matured Special Release Distillers Edition from the year 2015. This special 16-year-old Islay single malt whisky of the Classic Malts Selection from the Islay legend Lagavulin was distilled in the year 1999, 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 2015 at 43.0% vol. and the batch number lgv.04/504 under the direction of Distillery Manager Georgie Crawford.
This is the definitive Islay Single Malt 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.
Perhaps unsuprisingly it is a stunning Lagavulin Islay single malt scotch whisky and is very highly rated indeed.
- Nose: Intense peat and vanilla. A raisin sweetness checks the smoke. Iodine-edged peat and crisp, roasty malt. Satisfying and enticing.
- Palate: A clear, grassy malt, then the peat lands - smoke filling the mouth. A very salty tang, the middle offers coffee, vanilla and fruit.
- Finish: Incredibly long, even by Islay standards. Fruit, peat and long-lasting oak. Very chewable.
