This 12-year-old single malt from Lagavulin is part of Diageo's Special Releases for 2006. It hails from the renowned Islay region of Scotland, known for its peaty and smoky whiskies. This expression is a cask strength release, offering a more intense and unadulterated experience of Lagavulin's signature style.
The whisky is characterized by its robust and smoky profile, with a complexity that reveals itself gradually. The nose is rich with peat smoke, complemented by hints of citrus and maritime influences. On the palate, it delivers a powerful combination of smoky and sweet flavors, with a touch of spice and a lingering finish that showcases its coastal heritage.
This Lagavulin is a fine example of an Islay whisky, perfect for those who appreciate a heavily peated dram. Its bold character and depth make it a standout in any whisky collection, offering a taste of the rugged and windswept landscapes of its origin.
