Lagavulin 1993 Managers' Choice
Lagavulin distillery is one of the quintessential Islay producers, built in the early 19th century before eventually finding itself in the hands of White Horse blenders and their infamous proprietor, Sir Peter Mackie. It has truly captured the imagination of the whisky world in modern times, with the 16 year old becoming an instant (if unexpected) favourite when introduced as one of United Distillers' Classic Malts in 1988. The company had not expected the smoky flavours to be as popular as lighter offerings such as Dalwhinnie and Glenkinchie. Lagavulin was also home to the legendary (and near mythical) Malt Mill distillery in the first half of the 19th century.
Back in February 2009 a selection of Distillery Managers were tasked to choose a single cask of whisky from each of Diageo's 27 malt whisky distilleries.
This was comfortably the most popular in the range as a single cask sherried Lagavulin is a rare thing!
