A powerful Islay classic — peat smoke wrapped in PX sherry sweetness, built for slow appreciation.

【Why choose it?】
1) Double maturation in ex-Pedro Ximénez casks -> delivers lush raisin and toffee notes that soften the raw peat. Benefit: approachable sweetness balances intense smoke.
2) Signature Lagavulin maritime peat and long oak finish -> Benefit: memorable, long-lasting finish that rewards sipping.
3) Limited Distillers Edition release -> Benefit: collectible, stands out on the shelf without the price of ultra-rare bottlings.

【Sommelier's private note】Nose opens with bold peat, vanilla pod and a raisiny sweetness that nods to PX influence. On the palate the smoke fills the mouth first, then a layer of sweet dried fruit, coffee and salty sea-brine appears — framed by warm oak and a hint of espresso bitterness. It’s full-bodied, unapologetically smoky, yet softened by the sherry cask so each sip reveals a new detail. Best savoured slowly in a tumbler or a large nosing glass.

【Producer & making notes】From Lagavulin on Islay: traditional malted barley distillation, matured initially in oak, then double-matured in ex-bodega Pedro Ximénez casks to add raisiny, dessert-like depth. Water source, peat bogs and coastal climate lend the saline, maritime character typical of Lagavulin.

【Terroir & warehouse notes】Islay’s peat and salty sea air are part of the spirit—coastal warehouses and slow oak influence create that signature marriage of smoke, salt and sweetness.

【Occasion — Hong Kong scenarios】Perfect for slow weekend nights at home after a seafood dinner, sharing at a gentleman’s rooftop gathering, or as a premium gift for collectors and whisky-loving hosts.

【Competitive edge】Compared with many big-name Islay releases, this edition pairs the classic Lagavulin smoke with a PX-driven sweetness that broadens appeal — premium, collectible and more approachable than raw cask-strength counterparts.
