Lagavulin 1991 16 Years The Distillers Edition 2008 Double matured in Pedro Ximenez Sherry Wood Special Release lgv.4/496 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 43.0% Vol. - rare 2nd Release!
A rare vintage 1991 bottling of the 16 years old Laguvulin s Distillers Edition Double Matured Special Release Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the year 2008. This special over 16-year-old single malt scotch whisky of the Classic Malts Selection from the Islay legend Lagavulin was distilled in 1991, 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 2008 with 43.0% abv and the batch number lgv.04/496 under the direction of Distiller Manager Graham Logie.
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. Perhaps unsuprisingly it is a stunning whisky and is very highly rated indeed!
