Lagavulin 2011 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1999 Vintage

Colour

Deep coppery amber with rich mahogany undertones.

Nose

Intense peat smoke and maritime brine surge from the glass, with iodine and ash. Sherry maturity brings raisin, fig and dark chocolate, woven with vanilla, toffee and toasted oak. A delicate citrus lift keeps the coastal brightness alive amid the rich, decadent core.

Palate

Opulent and fiercely smoky, Lagavulin floods the palate with peat-driven warmth, iodine, sea-salt and char. Rich sherry sweetness unfolds—fig, raisin and dark cocoa—woven with tar and roasted almond. The 57.5% ABV delivers a bold, velvety mouthfeel, while the finish lingers with coastal ash, medicinal depth and a spicy, sea-worn warmth.

Finish

Long, smoky finish with coastal brine and medicinal peat, rising into a velvety sweetness. Ashy, resinous notes mingle with dark fruit—fig and cocoa—tapering to a warm, peppery ember that lingers, inviting the next sip.
