Lagavulin Double Matured Distillers Edition 2022
Lagavulin Double Matured Distillers Edition 2022 is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky from Lagavulin, released as part of the Distillers Edition range. Its key differentiator is a two-part maturation: initial ageing in refill American and European oak, followed by finishing in Pedro Ximénez-seasoned re-charred American oak with heavily re-charred new American oak ends.
The official 2022 release is first matured in refill American and European oak casks, then given a second maturation in Pedro Ximénez-seasoned re-charred American oak with heavily re-charred new American oak ends. Lagavulin’s malt is associated with local peat smoke, giving the whisky its coastal, smoky Islay character while the PX-seasoned finish adds raisin-like sweetness and depth.
In the glass, this 2022 Distillers Edition shows a light amber colour. The aroma opens with dark oak, liquor-soaked raisins, sweet wine cask influence and fragrant peat smoke. On the palate it is oily and sweet-spicy, bringing raisin-led smokiness, roasted malt, peat, salt and a drying espresso note before a very long, warming finish of dark smoke and oak spice.
Serve Lagavulin Double Matured Distillers Edition 2022 neat to focus on its peat smoke, raisin sweetness and oak spice, or add a small sip of water if you prefer the aroma to open gradually. Its boxed presentation and distinctive Islay profile make it suitable for experienced whisky drinkers who enjoy smoky, sherry-influenced single malts.
