This rare Vintage 1991 single-cask charity bottling from Lagavulin is the culmination of its 200th anniversary celebrations, and will benefit Islay and the people who live there. A one-off release limited to just 522 bottles, all proceeds received by the owner of Lagavulin, Diageo, will be split among seven Islay charities. Proceeds of the extremely limited 24-year-old edition are set to exceed £0.58 million, which will be divided between seven charities. The largest donation is £310,000 to Islay Heritage, and will fund research at Dunyvaig Castle, the creation of an Islay Heritage trail, and conservation work focusing on Kildalton chapel and education. The remaining six charities will receive between £10,000 and £60,000 each, and include the McTaggart Cyber Café, Islay and Jura Community Enterprises Ltd., McTaggart Leisure Centre, the Finlaggan Trust, Islay Arts, Islay Festival Association, and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
The sale of this rare charity bottling took place after registration via a ballot on the website of thewhiskyexchange.com and the number 1 from the limited edition was sold at whisky.auction with LOT No. 14054 on March 7, 2017 for £7300 plus 15% commission fee.
- Nose: Charred oak timbers, sawdust and voluptuous fruit backed by subtle milk chocolate and vanilla. Grainy new make, developing burnt caramel, subtle spent match and a slight sapid, earthy dampness. A trace of ripe red apple and plum and smoked fish dressed in appley olive oil.
- Palate: Hot and sweet. Searing, woody dryness, then calmer with mentholic chocolate notes and comforting honey underscored by a subtle chilli-like heat. A faint sawdust note gives way to charred astringency, acquiring notes of gritty cocoa against an espresso background.
- Finish: Quietly persistent with tart red-berry notes, cedar and a spicy, smoky ginger warmth. Leaves the palate minty, with a fruity coffee note and a sprinkling of salt.
