Introducing the Lagavulin Offerman Edition 11 Year Caribbean Rum Cask Finish, a bold and inventive limited release born from the collaboration between Lagavulin Distillery and actor/whisky enthusiast Nick Offerman. This Islay single malt takes the signature smoky Lagavulin DNA and elevates it with a unique Caribbean rum cask finish, offering an unexpected twist of tropical warmth and complexity.
Aged for 11 years, this expression combines peaty richness, maritime salinity, and the molasses sweetness imparted by the rum barrels. The result is a dram that dances between campfire smoke, ripe banana, toasted oak, and subtle brown sugar—perfect for those seeking a fresh take on classic Islay whisky.
Crafted with Offerman’s personal taste in mind, this edition is an ode to adventure, craft, and character, and makes an ideal gift or collector’s addition for whisky lovers.
