Lagavulin Offerman Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Caribbean Rum Cask Finish, Aged 11 Years is a dedication to Nick Offerman's adventures on the water and his love for adventures on the sea. Aged 11 years and finished for 8 months in casks that previously held Caribbean rum, this whisky has an aroma of of chili pepper, citrus, creme brulee, browned butter, and blossom honey. Notes of smoke, black pepper, chili, lemon, lime, vanilla, and salt fill your taste buds and end with a chili pepper-like finish with smoke and fruit. This whisky is best enjoyed near the water either neat or on the rocks.

"Inspired by actor and comedian Nick Offermans devotion to Lagavulin single malt scotch, Islay distillery Lagavulin debuted its first Offerman Edition in 2019. A second Offerman release appeared in the spring of 2021an 11 year old like the first, but with four months of finishing in Guinness casks. Amid a crowded field of ultra-aged, barrel proof, and many other formidable contenders, this stout cask-finished expression emerged from the pack to become our 2021 Whisky of the Year. While the 16 year old Lagavulin is generally considered the classic of the range, many Lagavulin fans prefer the younger expressions. The Lagavulin 12 year old, for example, has made frequent appear- ances in the Diageo Special Releases annual series, and the 2017 version landed at number-four in our Top 20. But could an even younger expressionand one with a simple beer cask finish to bootpossibly compare to the stately, sherried depth of the oldest Lagavulins on the shelf? The answer was a resounding yes."--David Fleming, Whisky Advocate 95 points!
