✦ Neatly Summary

Lagavulin 1991 / 28 Year Old / Prima & Ultima Islay Whisky is a from Lagavulin (United Kingdom), bottled at 40% ABV. Expect vibrant and fruity, intensely smoky and peaty character — smokey, oily, medicinal, dried fruit. Best suited for experienced drinkers who enjoy bold, complex whiskies. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Lagavulin's 1991 vintage at 28 years, selected by Diageo for its Prima & Ultima range, demonstrates how refill oak allows this distillery's peat character to age gracefully without becoming wood-dominated. The palate reveals oils and waxes alongside mineral notes of pebbles, chalk, and salt, complemented by Lagavulin's defining grilled seafood and citrus notes tempered by two decades of maturation. Where younger expressions hit with smoke and intensity, this aged variant offers complexity and restraint, its flavors emerging gradually rather than demanding attention. Ideal for those exploring how time shapes Islay's most iconic spirit.
