Taste profile
Peat Smoke Peat Smoke Sweet Sweet Maritime Notes Maritime Notes Sherry Sherry
Variety Single malt whisky
Aroma Dry and gentle, with fresh, clean phenols with smouldering campfire and wood ash, accompanied by accents of healing ointment and carbolic soap. Subtle, fruity notes and sweet rowanberry jelly follow. Slightly smokier with a drop of water.
Taste Slightly creamy and full-bodied texture, initially sweet then quickly dry with a pinch of salt, balanced smokiness with a tingling intensity on the lips. A drop of water brings out the sweetness more clearly.
Finish Long-lasting, strongly smoky and dry at the end with a warm, spicy twist that remains in the aftertaste.

Product description

Product description
This Lagavulin was bottled for the 2024 Special Releases. Under the motto 'what if', this year's bottlings from the Spirited Exchange Second Edition represent whisky craftsmanship combined with a high degree of creativity. Different flavours are presented through different and special cask compositions. The special releases guide tasters, whisky fans and Single Malt Whisky collectors through rare bottlings, rich flavour profiles and their own imagination. The 12-year-old Lagavulin matured in ex-Bourbon casks and refill wine casks made from American oak as well as refill casks made from European oak. The surprisingly mild and sweetly smoky whisky flavour experience was bottled at natural cask strength. The elaborately designed outer packaging makes the limited special bottlings ideal as a collector's item or as a gift.

The Distillery: Lagavulin

The Scottish Malt Whisky distillery Lagavulin is located on the south side of the island of Islay, between the Laphroaig and Ardbeg distilleries. Lagavulin, pronounced Lagga-voulin, comes from Gaelic and roughly means “hollow by the mill”. Founded in 1816 by John Johnston, the Lagavulin distillery is owned by the Diageo group and its whiskies are part of its Classic Malts Selection. read more

    Aroma: Ham Lemon Mint

    Geschmack: Medicinal Smoke Ham Ginger Lemon Peel

    Abgang: Iodine Seaweed

    Kommentar: Wunderbarer ölig intensiver kräftig rauchiger Vertreter, der fast alle Facetten von Umami, maritim und zitruslastig abdeckt. Ist sein Geld wert.
