The 12-year-old Lagavulin appeared in Diageo’s 2016 special collection to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the establishment of a famous distillery located on Lagavulin Bay. This limited edition is made in selected American oak casks, bottled directly with the concentration of the wine after being taken from the cask (without adding distilled water – cask strength) to create a unique flavour for the type of this rare malt whisky coming from the southern Islay Island.

The first try on the lips will bring out the sweetness of fruit chocolate. Then the pungent smell of mint and strong smoke will make the palate feel warm and intense like an erupting volcano. The strong aroma is perfectly balanced with the saltiness of the sea salt, bringing a surprise that is worth the expectation. Finally, there is a spreading pungent smell, plus a dash of wood, creating a lasting ethereal aftertaste.
