Named the Lagavulin Offerman Edition Aged 11 Years, the bottling is the result of both the actor and his character's love of the Islay distillery's spirit.

Speaking about the limited edition release, Nick Offerman said: “I have spent countless hours parsing the alchemy for a new, limited-edition whisky with Lagavulin Distillery Manager Colin Gordon.

"Together, we have concocted a most edifying nectar – Lagavulin Offerman Edition Aged 11 Years. 'Carrying the signature Lagavulin Islay Single Malt peatiness with sweet berry and orchard fruit notes, this Scotch whisky is for those who adore Lagavulin’s patented smoky flavor and the patience required to masterfully distill a Single Malt’ is what they told me to say, but I would rather just tell you that I am giggling with delight at the notion of people enjoying this limited-edition Scotch.”

The collaboration between Lagavulin and Offerman began in 2014 with the launch of the My Tales of Whisky video series.

To mark the whisky release, a set of four new videos have been added to the My Tales of Whisky, which star Offerman and show him discovering the distillation process and the pivotal role of Scotland’s peat, to the craftmanship of whisky barrels.

His affinity for Lagavulin is well known, and Offerman has sipped a dram on seemingly every holiday and occasion known to man – most famously with his version of a traditional Yule Log video that has brought lovers of whisky and him together for the festive season year after year.
