Actor, comedian and Scotch Whisky enthusiast Nick Offerman will now have his very own Single Malt, all thanks to his love for Lagavulin Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The new, limited edition whisky is an ode to the actor and brand’s mutual adoration, and is appropriately titled Lagavulin Offerman Edition Aged 11 Years.
Offerman and Lagavulin Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky have a bond like no other. Stemming from his role as Ron Swanson on “Parks & Rec” where his affinity for Lagavulin was shared with the world, the Islay Single Malt has been there for Offerman on every occasion. This new Single Malt, the product of an authentic collaboration with distillery manager Colin Gordon, is an ode to the mutual respect and adoration the two share.
Offerman and Lagavulin’s partnership began back in 2014 with the launch of the digital content series My Tales of Whisky. The actor’s affinity for Lagavulin is known worldwide, most famously for his version of a traditional Yule Log video that has brought lovers of whisky and Offerman together for the holiday season year after year. Stay tuned for new Lagavulin Offerman Edition shorts later this month on the My Tales of Whisky YouTube Channel.
To quote Offerman: “I have traveled the world and sampled many attempts at pleasing nectars, but it is solely this distillation of Islay; a tiny, charismatic Scottish isle, that has claimed my palate. Yea, and my heart into the bargain.”
TASTING NOTES
This limited edition whisky carries the signature Lagavulin peatiness but with extra spices and notes of dried fruit to carry the smoke. The whisky offers a full-on tingle from the split second it hits your lips, with pronounced fresh berry character combined with spiciness. Elevated top-notes provide a more direct flavor journey than other Lagavulin expressions.
