LAGAVULIN DIST ED 4/509 DBL MATURE

Description

The Distillers’ Edition is aged in oak casks then finished in ex-Pedro Ximenz sherry butts. The sherry mellows out the dram making it a sweet, less peaty sibling to the 16 year old.,Golden Treacle Nose : Intense peat and vanilla. A raisin sweetness checks the smoke. Iodine-edged peat and crisp, roasty malt. Satisfying and enticing. Body : Full and rich. Palate : Sweet and luscious; a clear, grassy malt, then the peat attacks, smoke filling the mouth. A very salty tang at one point; the middle offers coffee and vanilla with a glimmer of fruit. Finish : Incredibly long, even for Islay. Fruit, peat and long-lasting oak.
