Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: The Syndicate 70cl / 49.1%
Bottled in 2019 from a single cask, this 1979 Lagavulin was only the second 40-year-old ever bottled from this iconic Islay distillery (the first was a 5-bottle vanity Rare Malts edition by Diageo for Asian clients in 2016).
The Syndicate are a mystery group of cask investors with strong ties to Islay and the whisky industry, and have bottled some outstanding Islay single malts sporadically since the late 1980s. The Syndicate's Lagavulins, however, are in a class of their own, with a string of aged vintage casks from 1979, 1984 and 1990 fast assuming legendary status with collectors and drinkers alike.
This 1979 Lagavulin 40-year-old remains the oldest Syndicate bottling to date and as you'd expect it's absolutely incredible stuff. Bottled on Islay at its natural cask strength of 49.1%, Cask 112 yielded just 188 bottles, all bursting with complex tobacco, leather, rancio and smoky, earthy peat aromas and flavours. A remarkable, unmissable dram for true Islay and Lagavulin connoisseurs.

2 bottles of this lovely single malt were bought as gifts. Sampled a couple of drams from one bottle and it went well above expectations. The quality, integrity, natural colour, cask strength ABV and value-for-money made these bottles 'no-brainers'.
Present us with more of these quality bottles at fair prices...and we'll buy more.
This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
