$230.00/700ml
Description
The King of Islay in his prime, fiercely rampant, with a clarity of vision and a sense of purpose none can deny. A glorious and classic Lagavulin, with an intensity, saltiness and sweetness that balance perfectly as perfumed wood smoke rises to envelop them all; absolutely delicious. A cask strength 12-year-old Lagavulin matured in refill American oak casks and bottled at 56.5% abv. Nose: Mild, drying and soon, wonderfully aromatic; clean, fresh and maritime, with top notes of sea air and Himalayan salt, then fragrant smoke-dried tea and mineral salts. Beneath lie cocoa powder and dried seaweed, with a squeeze of lemon zest, the salty sweetness imbued with wood-smoke from a distant bonfire. Palate: Smooth and attractively oily; the sweet taste that soon shows an intense lemon acidity, with sea-salt and persistent char. The overall salty-sweet taste is rounded and sweetened with water. Finish: Long, with great waves of smoke, and roaring with chilli pepper warmth. Even better with a dash of water. Smoke lasts wonderfully in the aftertaste.Alcohol Volume: 56.50%
