Lagavulin 12 Year Old – Special Release 2019 Cask Strength 700ml w/Gift Box

This is a classic Lagavulin – a mild nose with a light prickle. It is clear, fresh top of medical supplies; dentists’ mouthwash, carbolic, and medicine cupboards, all atop an ashy based, similar to that of a recently extinguished peated fire. There are savoury notes and a mineral maritime note. The palate is a natural strength, unexpectedly sweet and smooth in texture, very smoky from the off. The finish is sweet, warm, long, and delightfully smoky. With water it becomes smoother and sweeter, though the smokiness reasserts itself at the close.
