Recent Official Lagavulins
Given the insatiable thirst for Islay whiskies, there is understandably more motivation for Diageo to release a greater array of bottlings from what is undeniably one of its most iconic malts. If not the most iconic: Lagavulin. Increasingly it also seems this includes just bottling private single casks for wealthy people. Apparently ‘doing single casks’ is no longer so ‘cost inefficient’ for Diageo. Anyway, no excuses ever needed to try some Lagavulins and we’ll not complain.
