Distillery notes:

We presenteren de tweede uitgave in onze kernserie Single Malts van Lagg Distillery: de Lagg Single Malt Corriecravie Edition, jaarlijks in beperkte oplage beschikbaar. De Corriecravie Edition begint z'n rijpingsproces in Bourbonvaten en wordt daarna zo'n zes maanden verfijnd in Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads, rechtstreeks afkomstig van de beroemde producent Miguel Martin in Jerez, Spanje. Voor deze editie gebruiken we Concerto-gemoute gerst en puur water uit onze eigen bron. Onze geselecteerde gist en uitgebreide fermentatieproces helpen ons de volle smaak te bereiken die deze whisky kenmerkt. Deze editie heeft een iets rijker smaakprofiel dan onze Kilmory-uitgave, met tonen van zoete gekruide bessen, donkere chocolade en hazelnoot. Gebotteld op 55% ABV, wordt de Corriecravie Edition zonder koude filtratie gemaakt en bevat geen toegevoegde kleur.

Introducing the second release in our core range of Single Malts from Lagg Distillery: the Lagg Single Malt Corriecravie Edition, available in limited quantities annually.

The Corriecravie Edition starts its maturation journey in Bourbon Barrels and is then refined for about six months in Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads, sourced directly from the renowned producer Miguel Martin in Jerez, Spain.

For this edition, we use Concerto malted barley and pure water from our own borehole. Our selected yeast and extended fermentation process help us achieve the full-bodied flavour that defines this whisky.

This edition boasts a slightly richer taste profile compared to our Kilmory expression, highlighting notes of sweet spiced berries, dark chocolate and hazelnut.

Bottled at 55% ABV, the Corriecravie Edition is crafted without chill filtration and contains no added color.

Tasting notes by Whiskyfun:

Six months in oloroso sherry from Bodega Jose & Miguel Martin's. Corriecravie's got nothing to do with the Corrywreckan. Colour: deep gold. Nose: on the nose, those bitter apples combine extremely well with the sherry's usual walnuts and with the distillate's heavy smoke. Roasted pecans and walnuts all over the place, that's absolutely lovely, and unexpectedly balanced. With water: a sweet earthiness is rising… Mouth (neat): great fun here, nothing being normal or 'usual' or whatever. We're between tequila and genever, with a heavy, ashy smokiness once more, touches of aquavit (a lot of caraway) and a lot of myrtle and eucalyptus. Very fat body too, very extractive drop. With water: no need to add much water, the wood would tend to come fight the smoke a wee bit. Finish: very long, this time with some notes of earth tea, old pu-her style. Bitter oranges in the aftertaste. Comments: a lot of action in this one, and a style that I had never encountered before. Peated genever ;-). Lovely!
