Lagavulin Offerman Edition 11 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Lagavulin Offerman Edition is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Aged 11 years, inspired by Hollywood celebrity Nick Offerman from the hit TV show Parks & Recreation. It is the product of “an authentic collaboration between Nick Offerman and Lagavulin distillery manager Colin Gordon.”

Lagavulin Offerman Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky is known as one of the most intense, smoky single malt whiskies ever made — the peated barley used to create Lagavulin Single Malt has up to twenty times as much exposure to peat smoke as compared to typical Scotches. Once the grains used to craft Lagavulin Whisky have been harvested and malted, they are dried over a peat and gas fire calibrated specifically to produce Lagavulin’s signature, bold flavor profile.

A much sought-after single malt with the massive peat-smoke that’s typical of southern Islay – but also offering richness and a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting tipple. The 16-year-old has truly become a benchmark Islay dram from the Lagavulin distillery.

If you’re looking for a food pairing for this beauty, try intensely flavored salty blue cheeses, which complement the intense, peat rich, sweet and salty character of this Lagavulin wonderfully.

Nose:

More like Lapsang Souchong tea than Lapsang Souchong! One of the smokiest noses from Islay. It’s big, very, very concentrated, and redolent of iodine, sweet spices, good, mature Sherry, and creamy vanilla. Stunning.

Palate:

Very thick and rich. A massive mouthful of malt and Sherry with good fruity sweetness, but also a wonderful sweetness. Big, powerful peat and oak.

Finish:

 Long, spicy finish, figs, dates, peat smoke, vanilla.
