Lagavulin Prima & Ultima Second Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 28 Year Old · 1992 Vintage
Out of stock
The first of its kind from a small experimental batch matured entirely on Islay in freshly charred American Oak hogsheads, this is a very rare Lagavulin. Time has mellowed the smoky nature of this spirit making it elegantly rounded and smooth in texture.
The Prima & Ultima 2nd Release has been personally hand-selected by Master of Malts Maureen Robinson; "I was able to reserve just five of these special casks, all filled on the same day. Lagavulin was the first single malt I tasted and it remains a favourite of mine. With its fine balance this expression is for me a fine white stallion of a malt, in which elegance and restrained smokiness are power enough. The enjoyment of connoisseurs will be ample reward for its long years in cask."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Dense amber with coppery highlights and a burnished mahogany edge; a glossy bronze-gold that glows with smoky warmth.
Nose
Mellow linseed oil notes mingle with fragrant smoke, inviting a smooth, refined aroma.
Palate
On the palate, a softly sweet, lightly smoky onset lingers, a touch of sea salt mid-palate, then unfolds into oaky vanilla spice with a gently drying finish.
Finish
Lightly sweet and smoky, the finish begins softly, a whisper of salt that glides into oak and vanilla spice, then settles into a gently drying warmth that lingers long on the palate.
