More Info

The Lagavulin Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2023 Edition 12 year 750ml is a unique whisky from the esteemed Islay distillery. This whisky is made from malted barley and distilled in oak casks before being aged for 12 years. The result is a rich, smoky flavour with notes of salty sea air and spice, perfect to sip and savour. Casks of this special edition whisky are only offered every five years so make sure to grab yours while you can.
Tasting notes

Nose: The immediate aromas are slightly more medicinal than smoky, showing hints of carbolic soap and soothing rub that soon mingle with aromatic wood smoke from a driftwood bonfire on the beach. As the intense, herbal smoke takes over, a savoury note drifts through it, suggesting barbecued pork. A drop of water reduces the intensity yet adds more maritime and darkly fruity notes, making the smokiness yet more aromatic.

Palate: At natural strength, the robust texture is creamy-smooth and mouth-filling, while with its ever-richer swirling flavours the taste is sweet at first and citrus-like, adds a good sprinkling of salt, then reveals notes of juicy plum in an increasingly smoky and lip-tingling finale. With a dash of water, it’s a little sweeter and smokier still.

Finish: Long, with a salty tang and finishing very smoky, with just a hint of that light meatiness in a smoky aftertaste that is both lingering and mouth-cooling. It is drying, with a lovely warm-heartedness.

Lagavulin 12 Year Cask Strength is one of the most coveted annual releases in the Scotch whisky world, offered only periodically and consistently receiving near-perfect scores from critics and collectors. The combination of Lagavulin's signature tidal wave of peat smoke, sea salt, iodine, and rich fruit at natural cask strength makes each edition an unforgettable experience. Islay whisky lovers consider it essential, and bottles rarely stay on shelves for long.
