Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Golden amber with warm highlights; the rum cask finish adds a subtle tropical warmth
Nose
The third and final Offerman collaboration — Caribbean rum cask finish. Tropical sweetness meets Islay peat: pineapple, banana, and coconut alongside dry smoky peat and sea salt. Brown sugar, molasses, and rum-soaked raisins. Vanilla and caramel from the bourbon base amplified by rum cask sweetness. The combination is surprisingly harmonious — the rum cask's tropical fruit melds with Lagavulin's elegance rather than fighting it
Palate
The rum cask brings tropical warmth: pineapple, banana, coconut, and brown sugar dance with classic Lagavulin dry peat smoke. Molasses and rum-soaked raisins add dark sweetness. Sea salt and maritime brine provide essential balance against the tropical sweetness. Vanilla and caramel backbone. The peat is gentled but present — providing the smoky foundation that prevents the whisky from becoming too sweet. At 46% it has good presence and weight
Finish
Medium finish with tropical fruit, peat smoke, and brown sugar. Sea salt and coconut linger. The rum cask influence fades gradually, leaving classic Lagavulin dry peat and maritime notes on the tail. A crowd-pleasing expression that introduces the distillery to a wider audience
