Lagavulin 1992 Prima and Ultima 28 Year Old

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 part of the inaugural Prima & Ultima range from Diageo, launched in 2020. Meaning "the first and last," the series featured eight whiskies selected by Dr Jim Beveridge OBE, with 238 complete sets made available.

Bottled in January 2021, this 1992 vintage Lagavulin was drawn from five American oak refill hogsheads, yielding 1,081 bottles.

Please note due to the size and weight of this lot, it will carry a two bottle shipping fee.
