Lagavulin 12 Y.O. Fireside Tales Special Release 2024

SKU: LAG12X7024K

Taste: Smoothly creamy and really mouth-filling in texture, very sweet to taste at first then quickly drying, with a sprinkling of salt and a controlled smokiness, the intensity lip-tingling. A drop of water brings out the sweetness more but otherwise changes little. Long, finally powerfully smoky and drying, with a twist of warming spice that also lingers in the aftertaste. A classic Lagavulin

Smell: Drying in feel, and quite gentle. Fresh, clean phenols rise to the fore at once with aromas of a smouldering bonfire on a distant beach and wood ash, introduced by healing cream and carbolic soap. These are backed by subtle fruity notes, some sweet, suggesting rowan jelly, others hinting at unripe redcurrants. There is more ash in the development. This is smokier with a drop of water, but still not heavily “smoky”.

Description: SPIRITED XCHANGE SECOND EDITION The Special Releases 2024 collection builds on the Spirited Xchange theme. While Year 1 Spirited Xchange transcended traditional whisky-making, through global cultures & innovative flavors, this year we challenge expectations in craft and whisky experience with a simple question, 'what if?’ Expect new perspectives, pushing further into the realms of flavor and the edges of craft for our iconic brands, reflecting our confidence and commitment to excellence. A TALE OF WHISKY CRAFT & CREATIVITY WHAT IF SMOKE WAS TAMED INTO INVITING SWEETNESS? Just as Islay folk fall quiet settling into fireside storytelling, and a burning fire turns to gentle embers,we reveal a softer dimension to the legend of Lagavulin. This is Lagavulin character made sweet under the command of active oak. Bold smoke quietened to a hush, matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon and refill casks for a lush and glazed aroma.
