Lagavulin Distillers Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky takes the iconic Lagavulin 16 Year through a second maturation in Pedro Ximénez-seasoned, re-charred American oak casks. Bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof) in a 750ml bottle.

Double Matured in Pedro Ximénez Casks

After its first maturation in American and European oak, this Distillers Edition spends additional time in casks that previously held Pedro Ximénez sherry, a dark, intensely sweet fortified wine made from sun-dried grapes. That second maturation layers rich, raisin-sweet fruit and espresso-like depth over Lagavulin's famously bold Islay peat, rounding out the whisky without losing its smoky identity.

Classic Islay Peat, Taken Further

Lagavulin is one of Islay's most iconic distilleries, known for a deep, maritime smokiness that defines the region's whisky style. The Distillers Edition builds on that foundation, using the PX cask finish to add sweetness and complexity to an already powerful dram, for a whisky that's smoky, spicy, and rich all at once.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: sweet-spicy notes with fruity, raisin-sweet smokiness.
• Palate: full-bodied and sweet-spicy to start, building into fruity, raisin-sweet smokiness as the peat comes through, with espresso coffee grounds.
• Finish: long, smoky, and spicy, even by Islay standards.

How to Enjoy It

Best served neat or on the rocks, letting the sherry sweetness and peat smoke unfold together. A few drops of water can soften the intensity and draw out more of the espresso and dried fruit notes.
