Finished in Ex-Caribbean Rum Casks, the Fourth Limited-Edition
Scotch Whisky From The Longtime Partners Merges the Flavors of the
West Indies and Western Scotland
for a Delightful Mix of Sweet and Smoky
NEW
YORK, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nick Offerman, ever the intrepid voyager, has
embarked on another odyssey, this time to reveal his fourth
limited-edition collaboration with Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch
Whisky. Inspired by Nick's deep-seated affinity for maritime
adventure, this new liquid isn't just a whisky – it's a journey
across seas and flavors. The new bottling combines tasting notes
from the Caribbean, a region close
to Nick's heart, with the flavors of the southernmost part of Islay
in Western Scotland, home of the
Lagavulin distillery, to create a sweet yet smoky whisky that is
unlike any Lagavulin before it. Prepare to hoist the sails and set
course for paradise as Nick and Lagavulin unveil their latest
masterpiece: Lagavulin Offerman Edition: Caribbean Rum Cask
Finish Aged 11 Years.

"Laboring together with Lagavulin blending master Stuart Morrison, we have landed upon our most
delicious, exotic liquid yet," Offerman proudly proclaimed,
continuing: "Now to silence the scandal-mongers. There have been
many accusations leveled against me regarding my desire to concoct
the perfect dram to sit and sip whilst viewing my favorite mermaid
musicals, so that I might feel even more fully like a
Scottish-Caribbean underwater siren-princess. To these scurrilous
abusers I have only this to say: what I do in my own time, whether
under the sea or above it, is nobody's business but my own. Slàinte
mhath."
Crafted with the precision of a seasoned captain navigating
choppy seas, this Single Malt is aged for 11 years in ex-bourbon
and ex-sherry casks, then finished for over eight months in
ex-Caribbean Rum casks. A symphony of sweet and smoky flavors
transport sippers to the distant Caribbean and Scottish isles merged within
this liquid. With notes of lemon meringue, honey, vanilla, toffee,
golden cinnamon and a maritime brine, Lagavulin Offerman Edition:
Caribbean Rum Cask Finish perfectly balances tropical flavor and
peaty character.
Offerman's collection of limited-edition whiskies with Lagavulin
reflect his passions, favorite flavor profiles and places he loves
to venture. With the fourth release, Nick sought to immortalize his
expeditions through a bottle label that intricately depicts a
journey through Caribbean
sunshine, rough and stormy seas, and leagues in between to craft a
dram that fuses the citrusy, maritime flavor influence of rum,
anchored by Lagavulin's home on Islay, the capital of peated, smoky
whiskies.
To accompany the launch, Lagavulin and Nick Offerman have once again teamed up to
create a comedic video spot for the 'My Tales of
Whisky' series on YouTube, to tell the story of this
liquid's inspiration. The video follows Nick on a whimsical journey
as he sets sail to craft the newest Lagavulin expression. While
journeying through the rolling waves and salty spray, Nick revisits
past Lagavulin adventures in different cabins aboard his trusty sea
vessel. In the spirit of Nick's favorite place, the escapade ends
on the hallowed grounds of the Lagavulin distillery, where he
savors a well-deserved dram of Caribbean Rum Cask Finish with his
dear friend, Mr. Pinky, portrayed by former Lagavulin Warehouse
Manager Iain McArthur.
This Friday, May 10th,
Los Angeles residents 21+ are
invited to experience Nick Offerman
and his whisky adventures in all their glory firsthand by stepping
into a multi-sensory installation in Venice Beach. The pop-up,
located at 57 Wynward Ave, will transport visitors to the
Caribbean and Scottish Isles,
fully immersing guests in the sights, sounds, and flavors that
served as the muse for Lagavulin Offerman Edition: Caribbean Rum
Cask Finish. The event is invite only. To receive your invitation,
enroll on AnyRoad.
Nick recommends enjoying Lagavulin Offerman Edition: Caribbean
Rum Cask Finish neat, on the rocks, or even alongside a plate of
desserts to pair with the whisky's subtle notes of lemon meringue
that embody the tropical flavors of the Caribbean islands. Lagavulin Offerman Edition
Caribbean Rum is best enjoyed with great company.
