    Lagavulin 12 Year Old (Special Release 2015)

    The least expensive of the 2015 Diageo Special Releases, the 12-year-old is now a staple and a firm whisky fan favourite, this being the thirteenth release in the series.

    This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Very sooty, warm lemon rather than zestiness. Warming, rounded wood spice. Water livens up proceedings.

    Palate

    Plenty of peat smoke, oatcakes and salted caramel richness.

    Finish

    Dry and sooty.

    Overall

    Clean as well as dusty (pretty sure that does make sense in this case) - the most affordable Special Release of 2015 and always worth getting hold of.

    a powerful and challenging whisky

    tasted side by side Lag 16. The older one at 43% alcohol is darker, richer and easier to drink than the 12 CS 2015 but the finish on the 12 was incredibly long and powerful. Diluted to the same alcohol, the 12 CS was not as interesting as the 43% 16 year old

    Excellent !

    It's been couple of years that i'm trying to get that product in Quebec. Unable to get it, I went for the Ardbeg Uigeadail; which I tought was better. That is because I forgot the taste of this amazing dram. Peat, smoke and saltiness. You can feel the Islay coast through that dram. Super smooth even at this high alcool level. That being said, Ardbeg still remains in my top 5.

    Wow ....... what an excellent wee dram from Lagavulin

    Master of Malt Customer May 11, 2016

    Overrated

    Yes it's good but not as good as the old 2002-4 Lag 16. Personally I like Ardbeg Uigeadail more when it is good. This said bottlings vary greatly whereas the Lag 2015 12 is Uniform with good quality control and unusual complexity for a lag 12x It lacks the basso deep peaty goodness of a strong Uigie but that is splitting hairs somewhat.
