Lagavulin 2020 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 2007 Vintage
In stock
Matured in traditional refill American oak casks selected to give a perfect expression of distillery character. Soaring in taste and intensity, the flavour is powerful and assertive yet subtly sweet.
An iconic Islay malt, its majestic spirit steeped in history for over two hundred years. Standing proud in a rocky bay crowned with a castle by the Lords of the Isles, who long ago ruled Islay, it reigns supreme today like the White Tailed Eagle that soars high above sea and shore nearby.
The aromas of this modern day King of Islay are elusive, until familiar hints of ash and linseed oil emerge. A light fruity note follows, as does a clean, fresh whiff of the sea, like breathing in the air of Lagavulin bay. The texture is smooth, the big taste sweeter than expected, intense and deeply smoky, with a long and commanding finish.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery glints, a sun-warmed, lacquered hue.
Nose
Elusive at first, ash and linseed oil rise, then a delicate fruit note unfurls, finished by a clean sea-breeze freshness that evokes Lagavulin’s coastal air.
Palate
Smooth, assertive and deeply smoky on the palate, with a surprising sweetness that keeps pace with the peat. Ashy notes mingle with linseed oil and a sea-salted edge, building a rich coastal core. The texture is rounded and warming, and the finish is long and commanding, leaving a lingering plume of smoke and subtle sweetness.
Finish
Long, commanding finish of peat and smoke, supported by a subtle sweetness. Coastal sea air and ash echo on the palate, with a delicate note of linseed oil. The texture remains smooth as warmth lingers, leaving a resinous, robust Islay imprint that persists well after the last sip.
