Lagavulin Offerman Edition Caribbean Rum Cask Finish is the second collaboration expression between Lagavulin and Nick Offerman — presenting the heavily peated southern Islay single malt finished in Caribbean rum casks, adding the tropical, molasses, and dark sugar character of rum maturation to Lagavulin’s distinctive phenolic Islay smoke.

The Caribbean rum cask finish adds a layer of tropical sweetness and dark sugar character from the rum barrel residue to Lagavulin’s intensely peated spirit — an unusual but effective contrast between Islay’s phenolic peat and the sugar-rich character of rum production.

Different flavour profiles applied to the same Lagavulin peated base — the rum cask produces a sweeter and more tropical contrast to the Islay peat.
