Lagavulin 13 Year Old Islay Jazz Festival 2021

The annual Jazz Festival on Islay is sponsored by Lagavulin. Each year, the distillery releases an exclusive commemorative bottling for the event. The 2021 edition is a 13-year-old single malt, matured in refill American oak and finished in ex-Mezcal barrels, a first for the distillery. It is bottled at a cask strength of 54.8%. The Mezcal casks have given Lagavulin Islay Jazz Festival 2021 a distinctive and unusual flavour profile.

Distillery Information

The Lagavulin distillery is in Islay near to the ruin of Dunyvaig Castle. In Gaelic Lagavulin means “the hollow where the mill is” and it is also one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. Lagavulin whisky is styled “Lord of the Isles – the definitive Islay Malt”.
The water that Lagavulin use is drawn from Solan Lochs which flow through heavy peat bogs. They combine this water with heavily-peated barley, which results in a very powerful smelling whisky. The barrels of whisky are matured in sheds above the beach, where the salty fresh air gives the whisky its particular smell and taste. Lagavulin also has a fantastic visitors centre that is open all year round.
