LAGAVULIN 12 YEAR OLD SPECIAL RELEASES 2021 SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY, 750ML
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.
APPEARANCE
Lustrous pale straw-gold.
BODY
Medium.
NOSE
Mild, drying and soon, wonderfully aromatic; clean, fresh and maritime, with top notes of sea air and Himalayan salt, supported by fragrant smoke-dried Lapsang Souchong tea, mineral salts and light cleansing salve. Beneath these lie drier notes of cocoa powder and dried seaweed, with a squeeze of lemon zest, this salty sweetness imbued with wood-smoke from a distant bonfire on the shore.
PALATE
The texture is smooth and attractively oily; the taste sweet to start then soon growling with an intense lemon acidity, with a sprinkling of sea-salt and persistent char talking each sip. The overall salty-sweet taste is rounded, softened and sweetened by a drop of water.
FINISH
Long, with great waves of smoke, and roaring with chili pepper warmth. Even better with a dash of water. Smoke lasts wonderfully in the aftertaste.

One of the most anticipated Special Release each year is the Lagavulin 12 Year Old. It keeps getting very high scores and at the same time it is relatively affordable. Distilled in 2008, this 12-year-old Lagavulin single malt has been matured in refill American oak casks. It is nicknamed The Lion’️s Fire. Nose: dry peat with lots of coastal notes and medicinal elements. Beach sand, tarry ropes, with sea spray and iodine bandages. Dried seaweed. Hints of green apple and lemon. A slight mineral sharpness, as well as green olive juice, but also subtle sweetness in the distance. I think 2021 brought us a great Lagavulin 12 Years, less sweet than last year and perhaps more briny and coastal than most other years. A true classic. I know people are complaining about the price creeping up, but on the other hand it’s almost impossible to to find this level of quality at a better price. One to savour! Sold out in many places
