Lagavulin 2011 Jazz Festival Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old · 1993 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with a glossy mahogany core and a warm, sherry-bronze glow.

Nose

Intense peat smoke fills the nose, braided with saline sea air, iodine and char. Sherry-cask warmth brings dried fig, raisin, cocoa, and vanilla, while leather and a whisper of spice add depth. A lingering, smoky finish hints at Islay’s coast and aged elegance.

Palate

Powerful and deeply peated, Lagavulin coats the palate with a lush, oily texture. Rich sherry notes of toffee, dark chocolate and dried cherry mingle with charcoal smoke, brine and oak spice. The finish is long and warming, with creeping peat and a coastal bite that lingers elegantly.

Finish

Extremely long finish of smoke-kissed peat and sea-salt, enriched by sherry sweetness. Dried dark fruit, cocoa and espresso emerge, then ease into a warm, resinous glow. A briny coastal whisper and charred-oak ember linger, slowly fading to a quiet, elegant afterglow.
