Lagavulin 12 Year Old 12th Release (2012 Release)

Please take note of wear and tear on the label, as seen in the picture displayed.

This is the 12th release of 12 year old Lagavulin from Diageo. A perennial favourite, balancing price against a punchy cask strength edition of whisky from one of Islay's most mysterious distilleries.

Appearance: Notably pale green-gold. Delicate beading.

Nose: Soft and beguiling. Farmyard smells – like soft goats cheese on a bed of straw. Soon strengthened by the reassuring arrival of carbolic soap and wood smoke, echoed in notes of spent match and wood ash, with a splash of malt vinegar on fresh sourdough bread. The smoky sharpness is soon softened by smooth, sweet, vanilla custard with a fruity, cleansing tang. Water brings up seaside summer smells, with a trace of lemon - imagine drifting close to shore on a plastic water-bed, holding a home-made lemonade. The sea-air is salty, there’s a distant thread of smoke on the horizon, and the hot, sandy beach is dusty and dry.

Body: Light. Medium

Palate: Bitter-sweet, smooth and vibrant, with lemon or lime zest. Distinctly herbal, with smooth, dark chocolate; then drying, with ash and coal tar: masses of aromatic smoke, cleansing lemon and a piercing pine resin freshness. Better mannered with water; still sweet and zesty, but now fuller, smoother and richer, and just slightly salty. It’s as though simple mixed dried fruit has become rich fruitcake baked in a woodfired oven.

Finish: Lengthy and warming, with notes of smoky tar.

Alc: 56%

Bottle Size: 700ml
