Lagavulin : Distillers Edition

A Scotch whisky that captivates with its balance and aromatic expression

The secrets behind Lagavulin's elegance

Located on the shores of the Isle of Islay in Scotland, the Lagavulin distillery boasts a rich heritage and an unrivalled reputation. It is said to have grown out of the ten illicit stills it once sheltered. For more than two centuries, this house has been crafting iconic whiskies that combine the intensity of malt with the subtlety of smoke. Renowned far beyond Scotland's borders, its spirits reflect the mastery and expertise acquired over generations.

The indelible mark of Lagavulin Distillers Edition

At the heart of Scottish history lies a unique expression of Scotch Whisky: Lagavulin Distillers Edition. Renowned for its intense, peaty yet fruity profile, this spirit has earned its place among the most iconic malts on Islay. Its second maturation in Pedro Ximénez casks lends it a distinctive touch, with notes of dried fruit and sun-dried grapes that beautifully complement its peaty power.

A symphony of craftsmanship: from fermentation to finishing

Crafting this Single Malt Whisky is a complex process that requires long fermentation, precise distillation and patient maturation. The malt is distilled in two small pear-shaped stills, which impart their unique character to the spirit. But the real magic lies in the second maturation: the spirit is finished in Pedro Ximénez casks, which add sweet aromas of sun-dried grapes.
