Lagavulin 2006 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1994 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with burnished copper highlights and a mahogany-tinged edge, boasting a rich, sun-warmed glow.

Nose

Intense peat smoke and sea-salt brine rise from a rich sherry-soaked core of dark fruit—prune, fig and raisin. Leather, iodine and toasted barley mingle with vanilla-cocoa notes, while a mineral coastal snap keeps the aroma bright and poised.

Palate

Thick, oily mouthfeel coats the palate as waves of peat and iodine roll in with sea-salt brightness. Rich sherry influences bring dark chocolate, fig, and toasted almond, tempered by bold spice. Leather and espresso deepen the mid-palate, finishing long with smoke, cocoa, and a lingering peat echo.

Finish

An enduring maritime smoke lingers, cloaked in velvet sweetness as dark fruit and cocoa emerge. The finish is long and warm, lightly sherried with sea-salt tannins and a final kiss of spice, leaving the palate soothed yet lifted.
