Lagavulin 1993 – Single Malt Whisky Prima & Ultima Third Release

The Lagavulin 1993 28 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a distinguished offering within the Prima & Ultima Third Release, represents a meticulously curated selection of exceptional and historically significant single malts. This particular expression, personally chosen by Diageo Master Blender Dr. Craig Wilson, embodies a tangible piece of Islay’s heritage.

The year 1993 marked a pivotal moment for Lagavulin, as it garnered its initial major international accolades, leading to a global demand that subsequently exceeded the distillery’s production capabilities. This release is sourced from the final two remaining casks from that seminal 1993 distillation: specifically, one Pedro Ximénez/Oloroso sherry-seasoned butt and one refill American Oak hogshead.

With a global production limited to only 642 bottles, this expression masterfully harmonizes Lagavulin’s characteristic coastal peat-smoke with a profound, opulent, and wine-sweet maturation. It is presented non-chill filtered and retains its natural cask color, making it an essential acquisition for discerning collectors and whisky connoisseurs.
