Description

The single malt has been matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon, refill and newly-charred rejuvenated casks before being botted at 43% abv.

The whisky is said to be initially ‘sweet and salty’ on the palate with an ‘intense spicy and smoky finish’.

Dr Craig Wilson, master of malts at Lagavulin owner Diageo, said: ‘The different wood types used have helped create a whisky with a fiery yet light, and smoky yet smooth character – one that is filled with surprising contrasts.

‘To many people, Lagavulin is the definitive Islay malt and, like other members of the family, this new expression has a charming exuberance.’

Lagavulin 10 Year Old is exclusive to Dufry, a travel retailer operating more than 2,300 stores in 63 countries.

The 10 Year Old was first unveiled at Fèis Ìle 2019 – the Islay Festival of Music and Malt – alongside the distillery’s 19-year-old festival exclusive expression.

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Lagavulin

From the home of great malt whisky, Islay, Lagavulin was one of the first malt distilleries there and one of seven which remain active today. The distillery dates back to 1816, when it was founded legally by John Johnston, a local farmer and distiller.

When Johnston passed away, Glasgow-based Islay merchant, Alexander Graham, acquired Lagavulin for £1,103 9s 8d. Graham upgraded the distillery’s buildings, and his successors continued to run Lagavulin. Lagaculin is known for being powerful yet ‘wonderfully rounded pleasure’.
