Lagavulin 12 Year 750 ml

Lagavulin is one of Islay's most revered distilleries, known for a deep, intensely smoky style built around long fermentation and slow distillation in pear-shaped stills. This 12 Year expression, part of Lagavulin's annual cask-strength special release series, is younger and higher-proof than the distillery's standard 16 Year, giving a punchier, more raw take on the house's signature peat, iodine and maritime character. Expect heavy bonfire smoke balanced by dried fruit and a long, warm, smoky finish. It's aimed at serious peat lovers who specifically seek out Lagavulin's limited annual releases.

How to drink Lagavulin 12 Year

Add a few drops of water — at cask strength, a little dilution helps the smoke and fruit separate rather than blur together.
