From Diageo's Casks of Distinction programme comes a 18 year old Lagavulin filled from a single Hogshead #13182 on 05/12/2000 before being bottled on 18/12/2018. One of only 228 bottles! From Diageo, "Casks of Distinction offers the purchase of individual casks from Diageo’s extensive stocks in Scotland, exclusively via Diageo’s Private Client service. Hand selected by by four master blenders, each cask is entirely unique and incredibly rare. Each Cask of Distinction is chosen on the basis of their quality, representing the most exceptional and singular expression of the distillery’s character. Diageo possesses the world’s widest range of great Scotch Whisky distilleries, with whisky maturing in around nine million casks from 28 operating and around 15 closed malt distilleries. Single casks that have an extraordinary quality and character are set aside as ‘Casks of Distinction’ and made available for purchase by invited private clients, before bottling and while the cask continues to mature in Scotland. Once the cask has been bottled, each bottle is serialised and hallmarked with the patron’s signature, including maturation and date of bottling details".
