Tasting Notes
Imagine a misty morning on the rugged Scottish coastline, where the salty sea air mingles with the earthy aroma of peat smoke. That's the essence of Lagavulin 12 Year Old (Special Release 2013). The nose greets you with a nutty embrace, laced with zesty citrus notes reminiscent of a refreshing iced tea, while the unmistakable mossy peat and soot lend a captivating depth. On the palate, it delivers a bold yet harmonious symphony of flavors – cocoa's richness intertwines with the briny essence of seaweed and the sweetness of perfectly charred vegetable kebabs. As the velvety smoky tendrils linger, the finish reveals an enticing harmony of oily smoke and cocoa, leaving a lasting impression on the senses. This limited edition Lagavulin is a true expression of the Kildalton coast, meticulously crafted from refill American Oak casks and bottled at natural cask strength, showcasing the excellence of Diageo's Special Releases series.
