- Description
- Lagavulin's annual 12-year-old Special Release has become a collector's benchmark, and this edition matures in Pedro Ximénez and oloroso casks to amplify sherried sweetness against the distillery's powerful smoke. The combination of Islay peat and sherry influence creates a complex, full-bodied expression.
