The 1997 vintage of Lagavulin's Distillers Edition bottled in 2013. By far the most popular of the Distiller's Edition series, this double-matured Lagavulin has had a finishing period in sweet, sticky Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. A whisky that never disappoints.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes by the Whisky Exchange
-
Nose
Sticky cherries on top of a layer of rich smoke. Brown sugar, prunes, honey and almonds.
-
Palate
Sweeter than expected, with Lapsang Souchong tea, smoked fish, maple syrup and sherry fruit.
-
Finish
Very long with lots of ash and chocolate.

Producer's Tasting Note
-
Appearance
Golden treacle.
-
Nose
Intense peat and vanilla. A raisin sweetness checks the smoke. Iodine-edged peat and crisp, roasty malt. Satisfying and enticing.
-
Body
Full and rich.
-
Palate
Sweet and luscious; a clear, grassy malt, then the peat attacks, smoke filling the mouth. A very salty tang at one point; the middle offers coffee and vanilla with a glimmer of fruit.
-
Finish
Incredibly long, even for Islay. Fruit, peat and long-lasting oak. Very chewable and moreish.

Lagavulin 1997 is a treat. Take a chance to try it or buy a bottle if you can. Smooth, Smokey, rich and long finish.

Lagavulin is one of my favorite scotches. The 1997 was tasty. I like the 1999 better.

I recently bought a bottle on offer. So for less than a bottle of Lagavulin 16, I was able to treat myself. The iodine in the nose of certainly softened, and there is the sweetness from the casks that are reminiscent of raisin ice cream. That's not to say the Lagavulin character that I love isn't there as well. It's just all more nuanced.
