Lagavulin 1998 (cask 1715) - Fèis Ìle 2011
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!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
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.
Palate
Big and spiced. Chocolate cherries. All those classic Lagavulin notes. Some fenugreek, parsley and, with water, a substantial hit of aniseed.
Finish
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.
