An elemental Lagavulin from virgin oak and our smokiest reserves, in which rich, peaty casks lead saltiness, spice and smoke on their eternal dance with deep sweetness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance: \u003c\/strong\u003eGleaming, iridescent gold.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry, with an immediate powerful smokiness; much more so than is usual with Lagavulin, with charcoal and fragrant peat massively to the fore, backed by a clean fresh base-note that suggests sea air and mineral scents. Much reduced, aromatically, with even a little water, it remains essentially unaltered.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePalate: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe smooth lightly oily texture shines with sweet richness; the taste is sweet to start, then takes off with a soaring lemony acidity and a sprinkling of sea salt to add freshness. Mid-palate the fire dries the taste, which flies still higher now in its salty-smoky intensity. A dash of water rounds and sweetens but it’s the smoke that dominates.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eLong, with great waves of peat-smoke, and new- fired heights of spiced and smoky intensity that last wonderfully in the aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Aromas of hot cocoa, grapefruit zest, and rosemary mingle with scents of briny, slightly medicinal ocean breezes. The palate is rich and chocolatey at first, then fills with warm spices — clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom — then flits back to chocolate mixed with golden apple and pear. The flavors continue to undulate on the tongue, leading to a spicy\/fruity finish with rich BBQ-like smokiness.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Amanda Schuster, Distiller (92 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lagavulin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45416177860823,"sku":"LAGAVULIN-12-SR-2022","price":152.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/9753\/6596\/files\/tds-lagavulin-12yo-2022-special-release.jpg?v=1720872530","url":"https:\/\/thedrinksociety.sg\/products\/lagavulin-12-year-old-special-release-2023-cask-strength-single-malt-scotch-whisky-700ml","provider":"The Drink Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
