Lagavulin Distiller’s Edition 2009 Release
Country: Scotland
Region: Islay
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 43%
Score: 94 Points
The 2009 Distiller’s Edition was distilled in 1993, and had a second maturation in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks that gave it a dark, rich copper color. The nose is smoky and spicy, with nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie notes. The taste is smoky and peppery, but well-balanced as the pepper fades to reveal sherry cask-influenced raisin and fig notes, along with a slight taste of red wine. The finish is thick and sweet with minimal smokiness.
