Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 57.3%

Always one of the most anticipated and welcome of Diageo's Special Releases, 2022's Lagavulin 12-year-old clocks in at an impressive 57.3% cask strength.

The first of these cask strength modern iterations of Lagavulin 12-year-old appeared in 2002 and they've been deservedly popular ever since. 2022's Lagavulin 12-year-old was matured in refill American oak before a finishing period in virgin oak casks and, because everything has to have a name nowadays, this Special Releases Lagavulin has been subtitled The Flames of the Phoenix.

Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

Appearance: Gleaming, iridescent gold.

Nose:
Dry, with an immediate powerful smokiness; much more so 
than is usual with Lagavulin, with charcoal and fragrant peat 
massively to the fore, backed by a clean fresh base-note that suggests sea air and mineral scents. Much reduced, aromatically, with even a 
little water, it remains essentially unaltered.

Body:
Medium.

Palate:
The smooth lightly oily texture shines with sweet richness; the taste is sweet to start, then takes off with a soaring lemony acidity and 
a sprinkling of sea salt to add freshness. Mid-palate the fire dries the taste, which flies still higher now in its salty-smoky intensity. A dash of water rounds and sweetens but it’s the smoke that dominates.

Finish:
Long, with great waves of peat-smoke, and new- fired heights 
of spiced and smoky intensity that last wonderfully in the aftertaste.
