Tasting Notes
This Lagavulin 12 Year Old (Special Release 2019) is a true embodiment of the iconic Islay spirit. As you uncork the bottle, a smoky aroma reminiscent of a smoldering bonfire envelops your senses, intertwined with the briny essence of the sea breeze and a tantalizing fruitiness akin to ripe Bramley apples. On the palate, it presents a harmonious interplay of citrusy notes, spicy undertones, and a robust smokiness that evokes the experience of savoring a well-aged cigar. The natural strength allows the whisky to unfold its true character, unveiling a smooth, velvety texture that culminates in a warm, lingering finish. This finish is a delightful fusion of sweet smoke and lemony tones, laced with a subtle hint of salt that pays homage to Islay's coastal surroundings. Truly a rare and exceptional expression, this Lagavulin 12 Year Old captures the essence of nature's rarity in every sip.
