Description

This limited edition 15 year old Lagavulin single malt Scotch whisky was bottled in the 1980s by White Horse Distillers Ltd in a cream ceramic decanter. It was produced alongside a 12 year old as part of the Ascot Malt Cellar, before the Lagavulin single malt brand was relaunched as part of the Classic Malts. This rare ceramic decanter is considered a collector's piece and was rated a highly impressive 94 points by Serge Valentin from WhiskyFun.com. It was hand-bottled at the distillery in the early 1980s.

Nose
Very pungent and full, big on peat smoke, with a pleasant oaky dryness. Hints of tar, creosote, rubber, then toffee sweetness and hints of fruit. Very mellow, seafood, cooked crabs, light smoke, a touch of tropical fruits. Orange soft drink.
Palate
Lots of wood influence, aniseed, then dry ropes, lots of fruit, citrus, marmalade, hints of the coast, smoked meats. Very rich. Peaty and malty, lemony, barley malt, rather pure, light body, mint and herbs.
Finish
A very long and full-bodied finish with plenty of wood oil, then mixed fruits, peat, smoke. Medium, a touch of sherry and oak.
