Lagavulin 2017 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old
Out of stock
The 15th in a series of special 12 year old releases for the annual Diageo special releases.
The 2017 limited edition follows on from the 200th annivesary bottle from last year.
Aged in refill American oak hogsheads and bottled at natural cask strength of 56.5% ABV.
Beautifully diverse in character, with minerality bursting into fruit and layers of smoke underneath, this is a far more complex, rewarding whisky than its years might first suggest.
Always the bargain of the annual Diageo releases with great depth of taste and fine distillery character that is a delight to drink.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Dense, dark amber with coppery-bronze hues and a subtle burnished-gold glow.
Nose
Menthol-laced, leafy peat smoke unfurls into delicate fruit notes of angelica and poached pear in stock syrup. A coastal, vegetal surge of sauerkraut and briny seaweed rises, followed by hints of pine resin, almond milk, white pepper and apple skin.
Palate
Rich spicy green fruit and sooty peat smoke burst onto the palate, settling into stewed rhubarb and pear with hints of oiliness and rockpool-like nuance. A mineral, leafy lift emerges, with notes of preserved lime, aniseed and green fig.
Finish
A harmonious weave of sweet green pear in stock syrup, sauerkraut, and dark chocolate bitterness, with white pepper and anise. Waves of clean, creamy peat smoke linger, while a damp, grassy coastal breeze hints at the whisky's maritime soul.
