Lagavulin 1980 Distillers Edition / Litre Islay Whisky

A rare 1980 vintage from Lagavulin's Distillers Edition line, bottled at a generous litre. At £1,200 it's a collector's piece that rewards the drinker willing to pull the cork — Islay in evening dress, from an era before the island became the centre of the whisky world.
