LOL but in all seriousness saw it today at the LCBO during my daily travels and the packagin caught my eye, almost drained my current Lag 16 and was wondering what this was all about, as it is approx $40 more then the 16?

| The Lagavulin Distillers Edition is Lagavulin which has then been finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks which adds a lovely rich sherried sweetness to the smoky peaty Lagavulin. If you like Lagavulin and you like sherried matured whisky you will love this, it is a absolute superb malt whisky. |

Yes I agree Mark. It's the real deal for a quality sherried single malt scotch. I had a sample bottle that is long gone.

| By far the best of Diageos Distillers Edition whiskies IMO, as said above you will love it if you like a bit of sherry influence with your peat smoke. |

I imagine it would be excellent, if the 2013 talisker distillers is good I can see how Lagavulin Distillers would be twice as good.
