Tasting Notes

Colour

Rich amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm, sunlit glow.

Nose

Lemon and lime dipped in salty icing sugar, pine needles on a sea breeze, volcanic smoke, white pepper, candy floss over peat bonfire smoke, seaweed.

Palate

Cool menthol tinged green fruit (sooty apple & smoked pear) oily, herbal mouthfeel, peppery seaweed and vanilla tinged peat smoke.

Finish

So clean and creamy for its ABV, it unfolds with lime and elderflower, green peppers and fruit, fresh garden herbs and zingy citrus, all wrapped in Lagavulin's tar-smoked character with a hint of vanilla, delivering a long, lingering finish.

Lagavulin
(laga-VOO-lin) Lagavulin was officially founded in 1816 by John Johnston on Islay’s south coast near Port Ellen, though records suggest illicit distilling on the site as far back as the 1740s. Peter Mackie later became one of the most important figures in its history, using Lagavulin as a key part of White Horse and building the short-lived Malt Mill distillery within the grounds in 1908. Malt Mill was later absorbed back into Lagavulin, adding one of the more unusual chapters in the distillery’s history.
