Lagavulin Distillers Edition PX Seasoned American Oak Cask - Item Code: 05796
Discover Lagavulin Distillers Edition PX Seasoned American Oak Cask:
Lagavulin is widely regarded as the quintessential Islay malt because of how flavorful, smokey, and rich it is. One of the world’s most popular whiskies has been produced for more than 200 years on the windy Isle of Islay, which is located off the west coast of Scotland. The island instills a strength of character into everything it produces. The Lagavulin distillery, together with Ardbeg and Laphroaig, is one of the three “Kildalton distilleries” in the south of Islay. It was founded in 1816 by a farmer. In 1834, it united with the first Ardmore (or Kildalton) distillery, which was situated just next to it.
There is currently a second Ardmore distillery located in the Highlands. Peter Mackie, one of the key figures in the Scotch whiskey industry in the 19th century, had a significant impact on the development of Lagavulin. Mackie was the brains behind the renowned White Horse blend, which was strengthened by the Lagavulin single malt that served as its foundation. On the same location, Malt Mill Distillery was established in 1908 with the goal of producing a whisky that would compete with the more well-known Laphroaig. After closing in 1962, Malt Mill was forgotten until a Ken Loach film about whisky brought it back to life in 2012. In 1974, Lagavulin stopped using traditional floor malting, and as of today, the distillery now purchases its malt from a Port Ellen malt plant. Three distinct flavors of Lagavulin’s single malt are always available: the 16 Year Old, the Distillers Edition, and an 8 Year Old. Regularly accessible limited editions include vintage “Cask Strength” 12 Year Old and earlier iterations (21 Year Old, 25 Year Old, 30 Year Old, 37 Year Old).

Scotch whiskey, a distinguished spirit originating from Scotland, is primarily made from malted barley for single malts and grains for blended varieties. This iconic drink undergoes a meticulous distillation process using pot stills for single malts and column stills for grain whiskies, followed by an aging period of at least three years in oak casks, often previously used for bourbon or sherry. The result is a diverse range of flavors and aromas that reflect the unique characteristics of its regions of origin.
Single malt Scotch typically boasts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, smoke, peat, and oak, while blended Scotch offers a smoother profile with balanced hints of caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. The texture can vary significantly—from smooth and creamy to rich and oily—depending on the style. Scotch whiskey is versatile in its consumption; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Rob Roy or Blood & Sand.
