Lagavulin 11 Year Old Nick Offerman Guinness Cask Finish

Nick Offerman, most famous for playing Ron Swanson on the sitcom Parks and Rec, creates a 11YO Lagavuling Single Malt, aged in Guinness casks, to honor his dad for Father’s Day 2021.Situated on the banks of Lagavulin Bay on the island of Islay, Lagavulin Distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. Distilling took place on the banks of Lagavulin Bay as early as 1742, and by the turn of the century, there were as many as ten illicit stills operating in the area. In 1816, John Johnson founded the first legal distillery on the site, and within a year Archibald Campbell had opened a second. After Johnson’s death, Alexander Graham acquired Johnston’s distillery for 1,100 and eventually united the two distilleries together under the Lagavulin name. Since that time, the rich, peaty water that runs down the brown burn and through the Solan Lochs into the hills just next to Lagavulin Bay has served as the lifeblood of the distillery.

Perhaps most famous for his role as Ron Swanson on NBC’s sitcom Parks and Recreation, actor Nick Offerman is one of many Lagavulin enthusiasts in the world and an avid fan of Guinness. This is why he wanted to create a special gift, dedicated to his dad from whom he inherited these passions. For Father’s Day 2021, he set on a mission to combine them into the best Father’s Day gift and create a new whisky.
