Lagavulin 12 y.o. The Ink of Legends - Diageo Special Releases 2023 200ml

Special features: This limited edition from Diageo's "Spirited Xchange" series presents a 12-year-old Lagavulin, which after traditional aging in American oak barrels received a finish in Don Julio Añejo Tequila casks. This innovative cask combination gives the whisky a unique aromatic profile that combines the classic Lagavulin style with exotic tequila notes.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Intense smoke waves merge with fresh sea breeze, citrus fruits, ripe berries, and the sweetness of dark plums. Underpinned by bright herbs and a hint of sea salt.
• Palate: Full-bodied and complex – sweet plums and berries, maritime-salty nuances, increasingly herbaceous smoke. Creamy texture with a spicy core.
• Finish: Long, persistently smoky with a mix of herbal spice, subtle sweetness, and salty freshness.

Distillery/Bottler: Lagavulin is one of the most renowned Islay distilleries, known for its intense, peaty, and maritime style. For over 200 years, the distillery has shaped the typical Islay character. Special releases like the Special Releases 2023 showcase the experimental spirit of the master distillers and open new flavor dimensions within the classic Lagavulin profile.
