A generously rich and complex Lagavulin with a smouldering intensity of bold, sherried fruits and pungent peat smoke. Intense and complex on both the nose and palate, with aromas and flavours of heady dried fruits, baked fig, oak, and bonfires by the sea. Full bodied and well rounded, this exceptional, well aged Lagavulin offers a harmonious medley of sweet, fruity, and savoury flavours, enveloped in a light haze of peat smoke.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and a touch of mahogany.
Nose
Smouldering peat delivers an immediate warmth, intertwined with bold sherried fruits. On the nose, heady dried fruits and baked fig unfold over oak, with maritime notes of bonfire by the sea. A full, intricate, slightly sweet-savoury aroma, cloaked in a delicate peat haze.
Palate
Generously rich and full-bodied, with a smouldering intensity of sherried fruits and peat smoke. Dried fruits, baked fig and oak unfold into savory coastal notes, while bonfires by the sea weave through a refined, smoky sweetness.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish where peat smoke lingers like a sea breeze, layered with sherried fig and dried fruit. Oak warmth coats the palate as the sweetness fades into a saline coastal echo, leaving a refined, lingering smokiness that closes with depth and grace.
