This Lagavulin gem was bottled for the 2025 Special Releases. Under the motto Horizons Unbound, this year's bottlings from Diageo's Special Release collection, which is popular with collectors and connoisseurs alike, are presented with whiskies that have undergone long maturation phases or are considered rare bottlings. Rich flavour profiles and meticulously designed packaging with elegant labels make the 2025 Edition sought-after collectables. The 12-year-old Lagavulin matured in refill casks and butts made from European oak, which were previously saturated with Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry. The smoky, fruity Islay whisky was bottled at natural cask strength. The elaborately designed outer packaging makes the limited special bottlings ideal as a collector's item or gift. Since 2001, the spirits group has bottled an annual collection of limited edition Single Malt Whiskies from its extensive distillery portfolio. For some years now, each edition has had an overarching theme, which is reflected in the artistically designed labels and packaging. Previous themes have included "Legends Untold", "Elusive Expressions", "Spirited Xchange" and "The Enigma of the Casks". The special releases offer connoisseurs the opportunity to discover unique flavour profiles and one-off cask ageings.

Geschmack: Weiche, leicht ölige Textur, dann kräftig und süß mit Trockenfruchtcharakter und herzhaft würzigen, rauchig-salzigen Torfrauchnoten. Wasser macht das Profil weicher und süßer, bleibt aber dennoch energiegeladen.
Abgang: Sehr lang, angenehm trocken und leicht rauchig, mit anhaltendem Salz und mehr Torfrauch im Nachgeschmack. Etwas Wasser verleiht eine feine und pikante Chili-Pfeffer-Würze.
