- Description
- A one-litre bottling of the rare 1980 Lagavulin Distillers Edition, finished in Pedro Ximenez casks at 43% ABV, offers the same sherry-tempered peat character as its standard format in greater quantity. This vintage, released years ago, has become increasingly difficult to locate, making it valuable for collectors building comprehensive Lagavulin collections. The larger format provides an opportunity to experience this elusive expression across multiple sittings.
