When Lagavulin decided to produce a 'finished' whisky - The Distillers Edition, there were doubters who thought nothing could be a match for the pungent strength of Lagavulin. Those sceptics were unfamiliar with the might of Pedro-Ximenez. A collectible 1991 vintage release, bottled in 2007.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
I am primarily a rum fan but I really enjoy many Scotches. This totally reminds me of a scenario if Lagavulin 16 were married with Dos Maderas PX rum = a VERY delicious Islay 'finished' whisky. I'm going to buy as many of these as I can for the colleciton but it's good to know new versions are stilling coming out. Easily one of my favorites and will probably remain so.

The classic Islay peat and smoke profile balances delicately against the PX influences making a perfect balance of flavors. This is my favorite Islay expression so far.
Had this with a filter coffee after dinner. Perfect digestif; thick, sweet, possibly the easiest Lagavulin. Not complex, just syrupy smooth, light smoke, chewy and warming.
