Product details
The Lagavulin 12 Year 2024 Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky presents an exquisite balance of bold smoky character and the sweetness imparted by active oak maturation. Aged in a mix of first-fill ex-Bourbon and refill casks, this expression is a rich exploration of oak’s dynamic influence on whisky. The result is a smooth, creamy texture that evolves from a sweet, toffee-forward introduction into a drying finish, with a controlled smokiness that lingers. The thick layers of vanilla and coconut join with aromatic spice to create a lush, glazed aroma, demonstrating Lagavulin's ability to marry bold peat with inviting sweetness.
On the palate, this 12-year-old whisky is both smooth and mouth-filling, offering an initial burst of sweetness that quickly gives way to a sprinkling of salt and a dry, controlled smokiness. The nose reveals fresh, clean phenols and the scent of a distant bonfire, immediately bringing to mind the rugged coastline of Islay. The finish is long and powerful, with a persistent smoky dryness, complemented by a twist of warming spice that lingers well after the last sip. A true testament to Lagavulin’s mastery, this limited edition release showcases the remarkable interplay between peat, oak, and time.
