Caol Ila And Lagavulin Exclusive Festival Bottlings

Caol Ila And Lagavulin Exclusive Festival Bottlings

More stock available than ever before this year!

Once again, Caol Ila and Lagavulin distilleries have announced exclusive Festival bottlings for visitors to their distilleries during this year’s Islay Festival of Malts & Music which runs from 24 May to 1 June.

18-year old Lagavulin from European Oak

The LAGAVULIN 2013 special festival bottling, from whisky distilled in 1995, has been aged in ex European Oak Sherry Butts, and was personally selected by Lagavulin warehouseman Iain McArthur.

Triple-matured Caol Ila

Distillery manager Billy Stitchell personally selected this whisky and this bottling is a little special and unusual.

Billy said, “Spirit distilled in 1998 has been triple-cask matured. For 12 years it rested in a combination of Refill Butts, Hogsheads and Barrels.
The vatted whisky was then allowed to mature for several months in active hogshead casks to impart a spicy/oaky note to the existing delicate Caol Ila smoke.

Finally it was treated to a final gentle maturation in European oak.”

Volumes and prices

Bottles will be on sale priced at £99.

The Lagavulin festival bottling goes on sale at the distillery at 10:00 am on Saturday 25 May (Lagavulin open day).

The Caol Ila bottling goes on sale at 10:00 am at the distillery on Monday 27 May – in both cases with an allocation of two bottles per customer.

Each release has been bottled at natural cask strength and comes in limited editions of 3,000 individually-numbered bottles.

Dr Nick Morgan, Diageo’s Head of Whisky Outreach, said:

“We are again delighted to have two exceptional whiskies from Lagavulin and Caol Ila which we have bottled for the enjoyment of those visitors who come to celebrate Islay’s great whiskies and whisky-making traditions with us during the Fèis.

“In the past our special single-cask Festival bottlings have sold out very rapidly, leading to disappointment for some visitors, and unfortunately allowing others to profit from their misfortune by re-selling bottles at inflated prices. This was never our intention.

And Dr. Morgan also added a hopeful note:
“So this year we are releasing slightly more generous volumes without compromising the quality of our offering. We hope this will enable all Fèis visitors who want to buy a bottle as a memento of of their visit to do so.”

Edencroft Fine Wines Celebrates Ardbog Day!

May 21, 2013 By Gary Leave a Comment

June 1 is Ardbog Day!

June 1 is Ardbog Day!

Here’s a quick message from Mark at Edencrofts regarding Ardbeg Day 2013 which is going to known as Ardbog Day!

We know how keen members will be to bury their nose in a glass of Ardbog – so make sure you keep 1st June free and come along to Edencroft Fine Wines, where you could enjoy a free dram of Ardbog, the chance to buy a bottle and a shindig with your fellow esteemed aficionados.

After all, we all dig Ardbeg!

Sláinte!

Ardbog Day is a celebration of the peaty bogs of Islay, from whence the peatiness in every drop of Ardbeg hails.

The theme this year is archaeology and Ardbog Day will consist of a series of ‘Shindigs’ at various ‘sites of ardbogological interest’!

These include Ardbeg Embassies and of course the Distillery on Islay.

If you would like to visit Edencrofts on June 1st and taste ARDBOG, could you email Edencrofts on sales@edencroft.co.uk so they can make sure they have a sample for you?

For more information about Ardbog Day, check out Edencrofts blog.
