Finished in Oloroso Sherry casks, the limited-edition 15-year-old Lagavulin is a tribute to the thriving Spanish jazz scene. This exceptional cask-strength bottling introduces sweet, fruity notes which are beautifully matched to Lagavulin’s signature smoke.
This is a Lagavulin 15-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Lagavulin in 2007 and then matured in refill American oak hogsheads before being transferred to González Byass Oloroso Sherry butts for the final 2 years of its 15-year maturation. As well as the characteristic bold peat smoke that Lagavulin is well known for it has a style of new make that includes an array of malt and cereal notes that come from its relatively short fermentation time of 60 hours. So, the oloroso sherry casks introduce some interesting, dried fruit and walnut flavours that pair very well with this distillery character. This type of wood also adds to the mouthfeel and perceived depth of the whisky.
Medium to full.
Long, sweet-smoky and drying, as the mellow fruity notes and spicy smoke entwine in a warmly arousing finale. Similar but sweeter and more rounded with water.
A gentle prickle at first. Notes of briny sea air with hints of bodega and a touch of ship’s varnish. Water releases fragrant waves of wood smoke, lightly accented by faint fruitiness.
At natural strength, very smooth with a rich texture. The taste starts sweet with nutty-fruity notes from the Oloroso casks, quickly becoming peppery and smoky with fragrant wood smoke. Big, rounded, and enjoyable straight. Equally delightful with a dash of water, which enhances the balance between soft fruity notes and ever-present smoke.
