Yes
A rather rare Lagavulin single malt, distilled on the 23rd February 1998 and aged for 12 years before bottling for the 2011 Fèis Ìle. A limited release, aged in warehouse 1 in a single refill butt, selected by Iain McArthur.
This bottle was part of a private collection and may show signs of wear if of a certain vintage - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Very slightly peachy, with raspberry and hints of eucalyptus. Toasted oatcakes, aniseed and cold-smoked meats. Maybe just a soupcon of sweaty armpits. In a good way.
Big and spiced. Chocolate cherries. All those classic Lagavulin notes. Some fenugreek, parsley and, with water, a substantial hit of aniseed.
Romaine lettuce, but the bit that’s slightly too close to the stalk that you don’t trim out because you think it’ll do you good.
