Lagg Kilmory Edition

Description

Lagg Distillery is a new Scotch whisky maker on the Isle of Arran, in Corriecravie.

The distillery has great views of the coast. It uses the island’s long history of whisky making. The distillery is modern but keeps the old whisky traditions. It mixes these with new ideas.

Lagg Whisky is known for being very peaty. This gives it a bold, smoky taste. It is complex and balanced. The peat in the malting process adds a smoky flavour. As it ages, the whisky gets flavours from the oak casks. These include notes of the sea, maybe because of the distillery’s coastal location.

The maturation process is important at the distillery. The casks and the ageing environment shape the whisky. They use different casks to give the whisky various flavours. This makes the whisky complex and interesting.

Visitors can tour the distillery. They can learn about making whisky, from malting to maturation. Lagg also has a visitor centre and bistro. This lets people learn about whisky’s history and future on the Isle of Arran.

Kilmory Edition

For the Kilmory Edition Lagg have used Concerto malted barley and water from their own borehole. The chosen yeast and long fermentation time allows them to create the full-bodied flavour with a vibrant and fresh taste profile which is the cornerstone of what Lagg Single malt has to offer into the future. The influence of the peat combined with the vanilla and creamy influence of the american oak forms the backbone of the go-to Lagg Single Malt.

It can be said that the Kilmory expression embodies the ‘house style of Lagg’ which centres around the use of Bourbon Barrels with the peated spirit.

The Kilmory edition is 100% First-Fill Bourbon Barrel matured and bottled at 46% ABV, without chill filtration and with no added colouring.
