Lagavulin Distillers EditionIn this year’s SAVEUR 100, we take stock of our favorite things: recipes, people, places. We consider every last one a new classic.

Smoke and butterscotch, dried fruit and leather: This delicious spirit is what happens when you take an amply peated whisky from the Islay region of Scotland and age it in sherry casks, which imparts a deep amber hue and a winey suppleness. A special bottling that's not much costlier than the distillery's 16-year-old single malt, this is a scotch for the end of the evening, for contemplative moments, for a treat.
