The first of its kind from a small experimental batch matured entirely on Islay in freshly charred American Oak hogsheads, this is a very rare Lagavulin. Time has mellowed the smoky nature of this spirit making it elegantly rounded and smooth in texture.The Prima & Ultima 2nd Release has been personally hand-selected by Master of Malts Maureen Robinson; "I was able to reserve just five of these special casks, all filled on the same day. Lagavulin was the first single malt I tasted and it remains a favourite of mine. With its fine balance this expression is for me a fine white stallion of a malt, in which elegance and restrained smokiness are power enough. The enjoyment of connoisseurs will be ample reward for its long years in cask."
