Lagavulin Fans Rejoice.
Lagavulin certainly is one of the most robust, peaty Islay malts around. Established in 1816, the Lagavulin Distillery is located on the Isle of Islay, where you find miles of peat bog that provides the raw material that influences the Lagavulin.
Lagavulin Distiller's edition is a limited release, that was matured for 16 years, before it underwent a second maturation, or finishing, in casks that previously held Pedro Ximinez Sherry. This second maturation adds complexity and mellowness to a dram that is similar to the classic Lagavulin 16 years old in many aspects, but quite different overall. This is a real treat for fans of peat, especially for fans of Lagavulin.

Ryan,
This is my all time favorite

Very smooth. In my opinion 16 yr would be considered decedent however I think this edition doubles down.
Melville,
Love it. Less aggressive iodine than the 16
Rob,
My favorite! 1993-1995
anonymous,
Amazing flavours, lovely peaty taste. As a newcomer to whisky I think I have been spoiled. This beauty knocked the Ardbeg 10 years off my cemented number 1.
