📯Lagavulin Distillers Edition 2023 Review | E150A Exposé | Whisky Whistle 759
🔊Welcome back to Whisky Whistle! In this episode of Whisky Whistle, Mark dives deep into the 2023 Lagavulin Distillers Edition, double-matured in Pedro Ximénez (PX) seasoned American oak casks at 43% ABV.
You’ll get the full scoop: the nose, palate, and finish — plus a comparison to the iconic 16-year-old, the 8-year-old, and other peated sherried malts. Mark also experiments live with E150a caramel coloring, showing just how much artificial color might be in this release! MUST WATCH!
If you’ve been wondering whether the Distillers Edition is still relevant, this in-depth whisky review will help you decide.
