Lagavulin 12 Year Old – Special Release 2024
Region: Isle of Islay
Experience a 12-year-old expression with thick toffee, vanilla, and coconut notes, unfurling with aromatic spice. A testament to oak’s dynamic influence on bold character: powerful peat tempers into inviting sweetness. Made for the curious at heart.”
Nose: Aromas of a smouldering bonfire on a distant beach and wood ash. These are backed by subtle fruity notes, some sweet, suggesting rowan jelly, others hinting at unripe redcurrants. This is smokier with a drop of water, but still not heavily “smoky”.
Palate: Smoothly creamy and really mouth-filling in texture, very sweet to taste at first then quickly drying, with a sprinkling of salt and a controlled smokiness, the intensity lip-tingling. A drop of water brings out the sweetness more but otherwise changes little..
Finish: Long, finally powerfully smoky and drying, with a twist of warming spice that also lingers in the aftertaste. A classic Lagavulin.
