LAGAVULIN 13 Year old Islay Jazz Festival 2021

Lagavulin 13 Year Old Islay Jazz Festival 2021

A limited edition Islay single malt released to celebrate the 2021 Islay Jazz Festival.

This 13 Year Old expression is particularly significant as the first Lagavulin finished in ex-Mezcal casks, combining the distillery's signature peat smoke with an unusual layer of earthy complexity and spice. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 54.8% ABV, only 3,000 individually numbered bottles were produced.

Originally available as a distillery-exclusive festival release, it has since become one of the most sought-after modern Jazz Festival bottlings.

Why you'll love it

Lagavulin 13 Jazz Festival 2021 delivers powerful Islay character with a unique twist.

Expect rich peat smoke, charred citrus and maritime salinity layered with herbal notes, grilled tropical fruit, warming spice and subtle sweetness from the Mezcal cask influence. The combination creates a whisky that feels both unmistakably Lagavulin and unlike anything else in the distillery's core range.

For collectors, it's an important milestone release. For drinkers, it's one of the most unusual Lagavulins ever bottled.
