Tasting Notes
Nestled within the iconic green bottle lies a whisky that defies conventional norms – the Lagavulin 12 Year Old, a remarkable offering from Diageo's 2021 Special Releases. This expression has undergone a patient slumber of twelve years, cradled within the confines of refill American oak casks, allowing it to absorb the intricate nuances of time and wood. Bottled at a commanding 56.5% ABV, this liquid treasure unveils a captivating story with every sip. The aroma is a delicate dance between restrained smoke, hints of distant bonfires, and a zesty lime note, subtly teasing the senses. On the palate, a harmonious symphony of black pepper, saline, wood smoke, and a touch of wood tannin unfolds, leading to a sweet encore of toffee notes. The finish lingers, a delightful interplay of black pepper, smoke, salt, and a citrusy flourish, leaving a lasting impression. Adorned with a majestic lion sporting a flaming mane, this 'Legend Untold' beckons whisky enthusiasts to embark on an extraordinary journey through the rugged landscapes of Islay.
