The 1995 vintage of Lagavulin's delicious Distillers Edition, bottled in 2011. This stuff is finished in sweet Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, and it's bloomin' marvellous. Very smoky and very thick, sweet and sticky. Beautiful with chocolates after dinner!
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Smoky and woody. Hints of forest floor, wood sheds, cut hay, sultanas, rum and raisin icecream and porcini mushrooms.
Creamy and very Christmassy! Lots of peat smoke, nut oil, hazelnut, cocoa, sultanas, crispy bacon, a little kipper, sticking plasters and molasses.
Old rum, nutmeg, rhubarb and dark chocolate fudge.

I've purchased most every Distillers' Edition of Lagavulin since the early 90s. I've managed to score 3 bottles of this one, and one remains unopened. It is the finest of their already excellent products.
One of the best Lagavulin's I've ever tasted!
unfortunately sold out...
The Lagavulin DE95 is without a doubt my favorite whisky. The mellow complexity of this dark and smoky treat, which modulates into crisp notes of citrus and white grape, leaves a delightful finish of toasted almond and chocolate on the palate, like an old friend who lingers a moment after the party has left for a deep and meaningful goodbye.
Don't get me wrong...This is very good. However, I would place it 4th behind Laphroaig18, Lagavulin16, and Lagavulin12 Special Edition. It is not as smooth as the 16, not a smokey as Laphroaig, and cant come near the Special Edition in any way. It does have LOTS of good flavor but seems to lack the refinement of the other 3. Should you buy it? Yes, of course, if you want variety or enjoy trying new and delicious scotches.
