Description

The Diageo Special Releases welcomed back the Lagavulin 12 for 2018. This is the 18th incarnation of the Islay single malt, which only missed the very first edition in 2002. The limited release was matured in refill American Oak hogsheads and bottled at 57.8% ABV.

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

Nose

A classic Lagavulin – smouldering barbeque smoke, oodles of citrus peels, raspberry and peach. It's quite green, with a freshly cut grass vibe in there too. Then there's a wet wood aroma to keep it interesting.

Palate

Bonfire embers give way to hay, orange peel, toffee apples and salted caramel. Burned marshmallows, dark chocolate and cigar smoke, too.

Finish

Drying with bitter orange and wood smoke.

Overall

A deliciously smoky yet multi-dimensional whisky. We like. A lot.

Great bottle.

Big fan of Lagavulin. After tasting this bottle at my son inlaws I had just had to get one. Luckily I did. Because now it's $350 if you can find it. I hope to get my hands on another year.

A brilliant dram.

One of my favorites.

Disappointing

Severely disappointed. It lacks the complexity and depth of flavour of the 16 year old. i regret spending do much money on it.

Worth every penny.

Fantastic scotch. Cheap drinkers need not apply.

Yuck!

Just paid a large amount for a bottle of 12 year old lagavulin and a bottle of 16 year old lagavulin, started with the 12 it is not the best scotch I've ever had [not even close] it is exceedingly oily it has a lot of heat to it, granted, but it's not pleasant to drink. Hope the 16 is better.
