{"product_id":"lagavulin-offerman-edition","title":"Lagavulin Offerman Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eNick Offerman is best known for his role as libertarian government worker Ron Swanson in the cult TV show Parks and Recreation… a man’s man who loves meat, woodworking, and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lagavulin\"\u003eLagavulin\u003c\/a\u003e whisky – which by sheer coincidence just happened to be Nick’s favourite whisky too. The whisky and even the distillery makes regular appearances on the show across its seven seasons, with Ron declaring Lagavulin 16 Year Old to be his drink of choice, and the nectar of the gods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince Parks and Rec wrapped up, Offerman has forged a strong relationship with Lagavulin, and has sipped a dram on New Year’s Eve, Father’s Day, and during the world-renowned Yule Log video that’s become a Christmas favourite for whisky lovers around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerhaps given this relationship it was inevitable, but it’s finally happened… Lagavulin and Offerman are proud to release the limited edition Lagavulin Islay Single Malt \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotch\"\u003eScotch Whisky\u003c\/a\u003e Offerman Edition Aged 11 Years. This new \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/single-malt-whisky\"\u003eSingle Malt\u003c\/a\u003e, the product of an authentic collaboration between Nick Offerman and Lagavulin distillery manager Colin Gordon, is an ode to the mutual respect and adoration the two share.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis limited-edition whisky carries the signature Lagavulin peatiness but brings extra spices and notes of dried fruit to carry the smoke. Matured in refill and rejuvenated casks the whisky doesn’t hang about, hitting you with a full-on tingle from the split second it hits your lips, and pronounced fresh berry character combined with spiciness thanks to those rejuvenated casks. Elevated top-notes provide a more direct flavour journey than other Lagavulin expressions, and it all winds down with a peaty, smoky finish that lingers like a smouldering campfire at Ron’s log cabin. As always, a higher ABV never hurts, and at 46% offers a little more oomph than you’ll find in the 16 Year Old. Oh yes, Ron would approve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I have travelled 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.” — Nick Offerman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe could only dream about being so poetic, Nick!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLagavulin Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Offerman Edition Aged 11 Years was originally intended to be released solely in the USA, and when we first got wind of it we knew we had to get it to Australia for our Members!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLagavulin and Offerman teamed up again with the 2021 release of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/lagavulin-offerman-edition-guinness-cask-finish\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLagavulin Offerman Edition: Guinness Cask Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, and it's available to Club Members to Add In October 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GHiSlQ4qrus\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JX_ZGz-Gi6w\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h3umE4W8UdA\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E86j1IQbXaY\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Lagavulin Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46489915195471,"sku":"WC0141","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/1185\/7487\/files\/lagavulinoffermanoriginalmedal_pdp_main.png?v=1787701021","url":"https:\/\/thewhiskyclub.com.au\/products\/lagavulin-offerman-edition","provider":"The Whisky Club AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
