Lagavulin 25 Year Old 200th Anniversary Manager's Edition

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.

A 2016 special release of Lagavulin, bottled after 25 years of maturation to pay homage to its past distillery managers on the 200th anniversary of the famous Islay distillery. The bottle features the names and service dates of each manager.

One of 8000 bottles.
