Lagavulin announces Limited-Edition Jazz Festival Bottlings
For the first time in festival history, Lagavulin fans can celebrate with the launch of two limited-edition Jazz Festival bottlings.
Jordan Paisley, Distillery Manager at Lagavulin, says: ‘The Lagavulin Islay Jazz Festival has become a key moment in the calendar ever since it began 24 years ago, and we’re all excited to welcome visitors back to Islay for the festival once again. Crafted to celebrate together with our fans in Islay, the 14 Year Old Distillery exclusive is surprisingly sweet, set to excite everyone.
This year, we wanted reach all of our fans in a special way, even those unable to attend the festival. That’s why the team has also, for the first time ever, released the 7 Year Old Festival Bottling, an honest and pure expression of Lagavulin – chosen to carry a piece of the Lagavulin Islay Jazz Festival to every fan’s home.’
Lagavulin Jazz Distillery Exclusive
To welcome fans back to Islay and celebrate the Jazz Festival in person, Lagavulin is launching a limited-edition 14 Year Old cask strength single malt Scotch whisky. With fully illustrated packaging to highlight the musical sentiment of the Islay Festival, this unique bottling is exclusively available to purchase at the Lagavulin distillery from 8 October 2022.
The Lagavulin Jazz Distillery Bottling 2022 has been matured in refill American oak casks and finished in brandy casks for five years, delivering an unexpected twist of sweetness. This complex smooth expression perfectly entwines the soft winery notes with the smoky, chilli pepper heat character, usually found in Lagavulin.
Lagavulin Distillery Jazz 2022 will retail at £220 per 70cl, bottled at 55.4% ABV with 3000 bottles available.
Lagavulin Jazz Festival Exclusive
For fans unable to attend the Jazz Festival on Islay, Lagavulin is releasing a unique 7 Year Old Festival Exclusive bottling, available for purchase online at malts.com.
Matured in a combination of refill and ex-bourbon hogshead casks, the Lagavulin Jazz Festival bottling is a pure and honest expression of the Islay liquid. At natural strength, this whisky opens with sweet citrus and fruity yet salty notes, which are slowly overpowered by wood smoke and white pepper heat.
Lagavulin Jazz Festival 2022 will retail at £95 per 70 cl, bottle at 59.5% ABV with 2,490 bottles available.
