This 12 Year Old Single Malt from the Lagavulin is a superb Island whisky and probably one of the most reliable releases from the distillery. This 2017 release is a must for fans of the peaty, full-flavoured whiskies so closely associated with the island of Islay. It’s as robust as a highland bull and carries a classic smokey palette, a slight touch of sweetness, and a long smokey finish with plenty of depth. 

Flavour Profile: Nose

There is a subtle mezcal-like nod to the nose. Displaying a playful cola like nature, there is a distinct southern BBQ style sweetness.

Flavour Profile: Palate

Cowboy campfire smoky embers and burnt cigar ends. There is a full weight of flavour, balanced with a sticky sweetness arc.

Flavour Profile: Finish

Long, dry and smoky, the finish is thick with ashy, earthy tones.
