Lagavulin Distiller’s Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL is a richly layered Islay single malt that elevates Lagavulin’s iconic peat smoke through a secondary maturation in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This double-matured expression balances intense maritime smoke with luxurious sweetness, creating one of the most complex and sought-after releases in the Lagavulin portfolio.

Deep, smoky, and velvety, the Distiller’s Edition reveals bold notes of peat smoke, sea salt, dark chocolate, raisin, fig, caramel, espresso, toasted oak, and warm spice. The Pedro Ximénez finish adds lush dried fruit richness and soft sweetness that complements the distillery’s signature smoky backbone. The result is a long, warming finish that lingers with smoke, sherry depth, and coastal character, making it a standout for collectors and peat lovers alike.
