Product Description
Lagavulin Distillers Edition 750ml is a refined, limited-style expression that elevates the distillery’s iconic Islay peat with added depth and sweetness. Curated by blackbook for peat lovers who appreciate balance as much as intensity, this special edition takes classic Lagavulin and finishes it in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, creating a richer, more layered experience.
The PX cask finish softens Lagavulin’s famously smoky profile, weaving in notes of dark fruit, treacle, and warming sweetness while preserving the core elements that define the house style—dense peat smoke, coastal brine, and medicinal complexity. The result is unmistakably Lagavulin, but with added polish and elegance that rewards slow, contemplative sipping.
At blackbook, we spotlight Distillers Edition releases that genuinely expand on a distillery’s identity. Lagavulin Distillers Edition does exactly that—deeply smoky, subtly sweet, and beautifully composed.

Why You’ll Love It
This is Lagavulin with added dimension. The PX sherry finish brings sweetness and texture that complement—rather than compete with—the peat. It’s ideal for seasoned Islay fans looking for nuance, or for drinkers stepping up from sherried Scotch into heavier smoke.
blackbook customers gravitate toward this bottle as a standout alternative to Lagavulin 16—familiar yet distinctly more indulgent.
