A principle that applies in particular to single casks. The coveted Lagavulin casks are rarely available. The master blenders of the Casks of Distinction program have found such a jewel among barrels, butts and the like. For the members of Casks of Distinction (short: CoD), Dr. Craig Wilson, Dr. Emma Walker, Maureen Robinson and Dr. Jim Beveridge the more than 50 warehouses of Diageo's extensive collection, pull unique casks from the hidden and give them a star that marks them as rare and exceptional.
The bearer of this star is the Lagavulin 30 yo The Islay Single Malt from 1991 is not just extremely rare. It is the first official Lagavulin single cask bottling of this age to be fully matured in a sherry cask. In addition, the single cask as a "Joint-CoD" is a real premiere. Since the start of the program by Diageo in 2016, several CoD keg owners have joined forces for the first time.
Behind the bottling are the Hong Kong Whiskey Fellows, known for their Brora 42 yo, and the House Welley Whiskey Bar from Hong Kong, whose founder already bottled a Lagavulin from 1995. Also Boris Borissov and Sebastian Jäger, founding members of the Wu DRAM Clan, who released the first CoD in Europe with their European Lagavulin Fans 21 yo and have a very close bond with Diageo. And: Christoph Kirsch, like the Lagavulin, also a 1991 vintage, for whom a great dream has come true with this bottling.
Lagavulin fans can expect an incredible single malt - lush in its natural colouring, with a complex, engaging profile of berry fruit, bacon and smoke that unfolds to be creamy, bold and complex. After 30 years in the first fill Pedro Ximénez/Oloroso Seasoned European Oak Butt #5403, the alcohol meter still measures 44.3 volume percent.
Nase Nose |
Dark fruit with the wonderfully subtle smoky notes that Lagavulin develops with ripe age. |
Gaumen Palate |
Fresh fruits, especially berries, and a little bacon, which (typical for old whiskeys) goes directly into a mineral cellar note. The whiskey unfolds, becomes creamy, powerful, sweet, smoky and layered. |
Abgang Finish |
Very long and with a powerful presence. |
