Tasting Notes
Lagavulin 12 Year Old (Special Release 2018) is an embodiment of Islay's rugged allure. Swirling the glass unveils a symphony of aromas – smouldering campfires, zesty citrus peels, and a hint of freshly mown grass. Taking a sip transports you to a seaside bonfire, with embers of peat smoke lingering on the palate, intertwined with notes of caramelized toffee, salted caramel, and the unmistakable essence of charred marshmallows. This smoky intensity is beautifully balanced by a fruity sweetness reminiscent of raspberries and peaches, while dark chocolate and cigar smoke linger in the background. The finish is dry and lingering, with a gentle bitterness of orange peel and a final whisper of wood smoke, leaving you yearning for another sip of this exceptional Islay spirit.
