Product Description
The Lagg Distillery’s flagship expression, the Lagg Kilmory Edition, marks the beginning of the distillery’s journey into the world of peated single malts. Crafted using Concerto malted barley and water from Lagg’s own borehole, this peated spirit offers a vibrant and fresh taste profile that will become the hallmark of Lagg Single Malt whiskies moving forward. Matured in 100% First-Fill Bourbon Barrels, the Kilmory Edition embodies the unique ‘house style’ of Lagg, balancing the influence of peat with the vanilla sweetness imparted by American oak.
This expression is a perfect introduction to the distinctive character of Lagg, offering an exceptional drinking experience that is both refined and approachable. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration or added colouring, the Kilmory Edition is a whisky that speaks to the future of Lagg Distillery while respecting its rich island heritage. With its blend of citrus, smoke, and vanilla, the Kilmory Edition is a whisky that can be enjoyed by both new and seasoned whisky drinkers alike.
