Description

An extremely rare and highly sought-after 12-year-old Lagavulin Islay single malt, bottled in the 1970s or early 1980s by White Horse Distillers Ltd. This bottling predates Diageo's ownership and the Classic Malts range, representing a significant piece of Lagavulin's history. Known for its signature peaty and maritime characteristics, it has garnered high praise from critics, with some versions imported for the Italian market by Carpano.
