ABOUT THIS WHISKY
LAGG Distillery Corriecravie Edition is a remarkable single malt whisky that exemplifies the innovative spirit of this relatively new distillery located on the Isle of Arran. Known for its commitment to crafting high-quality spirits, LAGG focuses on both tradition and modern techniques, resulting in unique expressions that capture the essence of the island’s character.
This edition is distilled from Concerto malted barley, a specific variety chosen for its excellent qualities in whisky production. The water used in the distillation process comes from their own on-site borehole, which provides pristine water that contributes to the whisky's purity and flavour profile.
The Corriecravie Edition is matured initially in bourbon barrels, allowing the spirit to absorb the subtle sweetness and vanilla notes typical of American oak. After this maturation period, the whisky is finished in Oloroso sherry hogsheads sourced from the renowned producer Miguel Martin in Jerez, Spain. This finishing process adds complex layers of flavour, imparting rich notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and spice that complement the underlying bourbon characteristics.
Bottled at a robust 55% ABV, this whisky is presented without chill filtration and with no added colouring, ensuring that the quality and integrity of the spirit remain intact. This high proof enhances the whisky's flavours, offering a bold and vibrant tasting experience that reflects the craftsmanship of LAGG Distillery.
On the nose, expect an inviting array of aromas, including hints of ripe dried fruits, nuts, and spices, with a subtle underlying richness from the Oloroso cask influence. On the palate, the Corriecravie Edition reveals a lush, full-bodied texture with pronounced notes of dark fruit, toffee, and a touch of spice, followed by a long, warming finish that leaves a lasting impression.
LAGG Corriecravie Edition is an exciting choice for both whisky enthusiasts and collectors, showcasing the unique qualities of Arran whisky and the versatility of malted barley.
