Lagavulin Islay Jazz Festival 2017 is a limited edition Islay single malt Scotch whisky from Lagavulin Distillery, released to celebrate the vibrant Islay Jazz Festival 2017. This special bottling highlights Lagavulin’s iconic smoky character, enhanced through a thoughtful combination of refill cask maturations.
Matured in refill American oak hogsheads and refill European oak butts, this expression delivers a more spirit-led profile, allowing Lagavulin’s signature peat smoke, maritime influence, and rich malt character to take centre stage. The refill casks contribute subtle layers of oak, spice, and gentle sweetness, creating a beautifully balanced and expressive whisky.
