This single malt whisky is matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks for 11 years before being re-casked and finished in Caribbean rum casks for an additional 8+ months. Bottled at 46% ABV, Lagavulin Offerman Edition: Caribbean Rum Cask Finish carries a suggested retail price of $89.99. The new bottling is described as a sweet, smoky whisky, and is the fourth limited edition single malt Scotch created collaboratively by Offerman and Lagavulin.
It’s a whisky that improves — quite a bit — with time in glass, its disparate flavor elements coming into focus nicely as it approaches a soothing finish that sees sustained sweeter qualities continuing to mix with pleasant, lingering smoke, back and forth, back and forth.
