- Description
- Lagavulin 1990 Distillers Edition, bottled in 2006, pairs Islay's most iconic peated character with the rich sweetness of Pedro Ximenez sherry maturation. The combination yields a whisky of unusual balance—tar, brine and smoke tempered by honeyed stone fruit and caramel notes, with creamy oak providing texture. At 43% ABV, it represents one of the most successful iterations of the series, offering accessibility without compromise. A gateway to serious peat for those intimidated by unfinished Lagavulin.
