    Lagavulin 12 Year Old (Special Release 2018)

    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!

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    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.

    Easy 5 star

    Only too bad that it has gotten soo expensive the last few years. Should have stacked up more while it was cheaper.

    Overpriced, but so dang good:)

    Overpriced......but so dang good:) You get all of the delicious bourbon notes of citrus rinds and vanilla! Then you get the sweet and salty smoke followed by the umami/savory goodness that makes Lagavulin truly special, with bouillon cubes/chicken noodle soup broth.

    For those who can't afford Uigeadail for everyday.

    Less smokey and stronger in alcohol percentage than the mainstream Lagavulin whiskeys.Way better head in the morning than the 16-year old products of the company.

    Something Special

    Just opened the bottle of 12 year, very peety and different from the norm. The more I sip the more I like. Kind of amazing how they can capture all the flavors that make this Scotch so very distinct. Heres to you Lagavulin, sip, sip. This is special and I feel honored to have acquired a bottle. Good for me. Sip, sip.
