LAGAVULIN
12 YEAR OLD NATURAL CASK STRENGTH 2011 RELEASE SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY, 70CL
PRODUCT DETAILS
From Islay's most famous distillery - this Lagavulin was released as part of the Diageo "Classic Malts of Scotland" range as a 12 year old, natural cask strength, limited edition bottling.
The Lagavulin bottling has been matured in refill American Oak casks and finished in high char Port-seasoned casks. This unique Lagavulin from an experimental batch powerfully combines intensity, sweetness, smoke and spice with an unusually dry undertone that rewards study.
Serving Suggestion: Best served neat or with a single drop of water.
TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE
Clear gold with amber lights. Fine beading and long, slow legs.
NOSE
Mild overall, with some prickle. A fleeting sweet top note of candied chestnuts soon settles into more familiar suggestions of linament and an oily mineral note. This last takes hold, becoming a sweet pungency. Water brings it out as linseed oil with thick, fragrant smoke in the classic Lagavulin vein, edged here by dark hints of char.
PALATE
At natural strength, the texture is thick and oil-smooth, while the taste is intense; it is fleetingly sweet then piquant with spice that quickly rises in importance, as rich waves of smoke, salt and hot pepper take over. Noticeably palate-drying. Superbly full on at natural strength. A dash of water smooths it out, in time emphasising the spicy dryness, which is still backed by a smoky intensity.
