Description

Like most Islay malts, Lagavulin is definitely not for the faint hearted. The distillery was officially founded in 1816 (although illicit production on the site most certainly predates that), and produces malt with a signature style of earthy smoke and savoury undertones. 1962 marked a significant point in the distillery's history, as it was then bought by John Logan Mackie, whose nephew Peter wen. This Lagavulin 12 Year Old is the 2012 release, part of Diageo's annual Special Releases series, presented at natural cask strength.

Nose
Intense peat smoke, briny sea air, iodine, and tar, with underlying notes of lemon zest, sweet malt, and hints of vanilla and toasted oak.
Palate
Powerful and assertive, with a sweet and smoky character, featuring lemon, dark chocolate, ash, coal tar, and a distinct herbal quality.
Finish
Long, warming, and very smoky, with lingering notes of tar, salt, and a clean, slightly drying aftertaste.
