Lagavulin Elements Of Islay Lg 12 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
This 12 year old single malt was bottled in 2022 at 55.4% ABV and matured in ex-bourbon casks. The Elements of Islay series focuses on small batch releases that highlight the character of individual Islay distilleries through coded labels.
Ex-bourbon cask maturation allows the distillery’s signature heavily peated style to remain at the forefront, combining bold smoke and maritime influence with vanilla sweetness, citrus brightness and gentle oak spice. The result is a powerful, smoky Islay expression.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm bronze edge.
Nose
Powerful peat smoke rises from the glass, tempered by maritime brine and sea spray. Vanilla sweetness and citrus zest carve brightness, while gentle oak spice lends warmth and ballast to Lagavulin’s signature bold Islay aroma.
Palate
Bold, peat-forward smoke and maritime brine envelop the palate, brightened by vanilla sweetness and citrus zest. Rich, full-bodied mouthfeel with polished oak spice; smoke lingers, accented by a touch of salt and a cocoa-dried fruit sweetness. Long, warming finish threads smoke, sea spray and spice.
Finish
Long, smoke-forward finish with persistent maritime salt and ash. Peat endures boldly yet refined, carried by vanilla sweetness and citrus brightness, with a gentle undercurrent of oak spice. Warm, resinous smoke lingers, slowly fading into a coastal, comforting echo.
