Whisky Focus - Lagavulin Islay Jazz Festival 2012 Limited Edition Whisky

Lagavulin, the iconic Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, will again be the headline sponsor of the Islay Jazz Festival in 2012, the brand’s owner Diageo has announced, following its highly successful and widely welcomed sponsorship of the event in the last two years.

Following last year’s exceptionally well-received limited edition release of Lagavulin to mark the festival, a special limited-edition bottling of Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Whisky will be on sale to Festival ticket holders during the 2012 Lagavulin Islay Jazz Festival (14 – 16 September).

The bottling, which like last year’s release carries a jazz motif on its neck label, is an limited edition of only 624 bottles, sourced from a single Refill Sherry Butt (No. 1894) filled on 7th May 1997.

It is bottled at a natural cask strength of 54.5% ABV, and priced at £85 UK RRP.

The main label carries the signature of warehouseman Iain McArthur, who has worked at Port Ellen, Caol Ila and Lagavulin for 42 years.

Any bottles not sold during the Festival will remain on sale, but available only to personal shoppers at the Distillery.
