Lagavulin seems to do well at any age. There's the wonderful Lagavulin 8 Years Old as an example of what impact young distillate can have, but also many examples of well-aged Lagavulin that reach stratospheric heights.
The words Lagavulin and Distillery Exclusive makes any whisky enthusiast's heart skip a beat. In the past, exclusive bottlings for Feis Ile or the Jazz Festival have reached rarified air.
It's become tradition for Douglas Laing to release a special Feis Ile Edition of their blended Islay malt Big Peat. This year they opted to release a version that was finished in sherry casks (a first) and bottled a slightly higher strength.
