Lagavulin 1987 16 Years The Distillers Edition 2003 Double matured in Pedro Ximenez Sherry Wood Special Release lgv.4/491 Islay Single Malt Whisky 43.0% Vol. - rare old bottling of a stunning Islay Single Malt!
A great old vintage 1987 bottling of the 16 years-old Laguvulin s Double Matured Special Release Distillers Edition from the year 2003. This special 16-year-old Islay single malt whisky of the Classic Malts Selection from the Islay legend Lagavulin was distilled in the year 1987, 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 2003 at 43.0% vol. and the batch number lgv.04/491 under the direction of distillery manager Donald Renwick.
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.
A great and exceptional Lagavulin Islay single malt Scotch whisky and rare expression for connoisseurs, whisky collectors and lovers of fine old Scotch whiskies.
