Lagavulin 1991 / 31 Year Old / Sherry Cask / Casks of Distinction Islay Whisky

Lagavulin's 1991 vintage, aged 31 years in a single first-fill Pedro Ximenez hogshead, represents a rare intersection of Islay's peated character and sherry's dried fruit complexity. The long maturation in Spanish oak has mellowed the distillery's signature smoky maritime profile, layering in notes of dark stone fruit, leather, and wood spice while retaining underlying peat and salt. The palate is rich and oily, with waves of dried apricot, walnut, and tobacco smoke that persist through a warming finish. A collector's whisky best savored neat to appreciate the interplay between decades of wood aging and Lagavulin's uncompromising spirit.
