Lagg Corriecravie Single Malt Scotch Whisky is produced in Scotland using Concerto malted barley peated to 50 ppm and water from the distillery's borehole. The malt is crushed and mashed to create a cloudy wort, which contributes to a robust flavor, according to the brand. Fermented with yeast and distilled twice at nearly double the speed of Lochranza in copper pot stills, the whisky is matured in bourbon barrels and finished for approximately six months in oloroso sherry hogsheads sourced from Miguel Martin in Jerez. It is bottled at 55% ABV, without chill filtration or added coloring. This release retails for around $109.99.

  • The Lagg new make spirit proves a strong foundation that stands up against the heavy sherry influence. The two aren't battling though, instead working together rather seamlessly. Wonderful showing from Lagg once again.

  • Maybe a little rough around the edges, especially on the palate, but still a very nice result for this youngster. Richer and more complex than Kilmory in my opinion, with the same nice texture.
