Awaken a Scotch whisky that bears the tales of oak, like a warm memory that takes hold. Just as Islay folk fall quiet settling into fireside storytelling, and a burning fire turns to gentle embers,we reveal a softer dimension to the legend of Lagavulin.
This is Lagavulin character made sweet under the command of active oak. Bold smoke quietened to a hush, matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon and refill casks for a lush and glazed aroma. Experience a 12-year-old expression with thick toffee, vanilla, and coconut notes, unfurling with aromatic spice.
A testament to oak’s dynamic influence on bold character: powerful peat tempers into inviting sweetness. Made for the curious at heart.

Slightly Peated

Nose : Drying in feel, and quite gentle. Fresh, clean phenols rise to the fore at once with aromas of a smouldering bonfire on a distant beach and wood ash, introduced by healing cream and carbolic soap. These are backed by subtle fruity notes, some sweet, suggesting rowan jelly, others hinting at unripe redcurrants. There is more ash in the development. This is smokier with a drop of water, but still notheavily “smoky”.

Appearance : Or clair

Palate : Smoothly creamy and really mouth-filling in texture, very sweet to taste at first then quickly drying, with a sprinkling of salt and a controlled smokiness, the intensity lip-tingling. A drop of water brings out the sweetness more but otherwise changes little.

Overall : Long, finally powerfully smoky and drying, with a twist of warming spice that also lingers in the aftertaste. A classic Lagavulin.
