This bottling of an 11-year-old Lagavulin was created in collaboration with actor Nick Offerman. The whisky was matured in heavily charred ex-bourbon and ex-red wine casks which were first scraped.
The Lagavulin Scotch Single Malt Distillery is a distillery located in the Islay region, which was founded in 1742 on Lagavulin Bay. Whisky production was legalised in 1816 by John Johnston, who received an official distilling licence. It was this same Mr. Johnston who expanded the business, not least by merging it with another distillery. The Lagavulin Whisky Distillery draws its water from Loch Sholum and Lochan Sholum, two lochs that lie on the slopes of the small Beinn Sholum mountain. The malt for the production of the dry, smoky Lagavulin Single Malt Whisky comes from the Port Ellen Malting Company.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
