Lagavulin 1993 Single Cask / Feis Ile 2007

Lagavulin distillery is one of the quintessential Islay producers, built in the early 19th century before eventually finding itself in the hands of White Horse blenders and their infamous proprietor, Sir Peter Mackie. It has truly captured the imagination of the whisky world in modern times, with the 16 year old becoming an instant (if unexpected) favourite when introduced as one of United Distillers' Classic Malts in 1988. The company had not expected the smoky flavours to be as popular as lighter offerings such as Dalwhinnie and Glenkinchie. Lagavulin was also home to the legendary (and near mythical) Malt Mill distillery in the first half of the 20th century.

This was the first ever Lagavulin single cask release for the Feis Ile festival, available exclusively at the distillery on Islay.

Distilled in 1993 and drawn from the cask on 18th of April 2007. Cask #4893 was selected by warehouseman Iain McArthur.

Bottle number 532.
