This special 16-year-old Islay single malt whisky of the Classic Malts Selection from the Islay legend Lagavulin was distilled in the year 1988, 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 2004 at 43.0% vol. and the batch number lgv.04\/492 under the direction of distillery manager Donald Renwick.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the definitive Islay Single Malt 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 Lagavulin Islay single malt scotch whisky and is very highly rated indeed.\u003cbr\u003eA great and exceptional Lagavulin Islay single malt Scotch whisky and rare expression for connoisseurs, whisky collectors and lovers of fine old Scotch whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTyp: Single Malt Whisky - Distillery Bottling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistrict: Islay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 1988\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: 16 years old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear bottled: 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCask Wood Type: double matured in Pedro Ximenez Sherry Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol ABV% 43.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottling Series: Vintage 1988 Distillers Edition 2003 Special Release limited Edition - Batch-No. lgv. 4\/492\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottle Size 70cl \/ 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProducer\/Importer: Lagavulin Distillery Port Ellen Isle of Islay PA42 7DZ, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited, number unknown - rare old bottling and special collector s whisky!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e43% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lagavulin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54687094997317,"sku":"5000281013480b","price":495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/4019654982.jpg?v=1746550535","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/lagavulin-1988-distillers-edition-2004","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
