Lagavulin 1989 Distillers Edition

Posted on 08. Mar, 2010 by admin in The Whiskies

Just like the Lagavulin 1993 Distillers Edition, this 1989 version is finished in casks that once contained Pedro Ximenez sherry which ultimately influences both the bouquet and taste of this Islay Single Malt Whisky.

This is perhaps the most popular of the  ‘Distiller Editions’ and just like it’s younger brother the Lagavulin 1989 Distillers Edition has a loveley layer of sherry sweetness to blanace out the standard bottling.  Pedro Ximinez is an intensely sweet and delicious sherry that lends the whisky a delicious character described by many as bein raisiny.

This sweet addition to an otherwise powerful whisky blanaces the mixture nicely and makes the Lagavulin 1989 more suitable for those that don’t like strong drams.  Described as any experts as being smoky and mildly fishy on the nose with a stewed fruit finish, the taste is as you might expect.
