Lagavulin 12 Year Old (Special Release 2021)

Lagavulin 12 Year Old from Diageo's 2021 Special Releases ('Legends Untold' series) matured for 12 years in refill American oak casks, allowing the distillery's signature peaty character to remain prominent. The refill cask maturation preserves Islay's intense brine, tar, and peat smoke while preventing the wood from dominating, resulting in a briny, medicinal dram with waves of smoked citrus and seaweed. At 56.5% ABV, the higher proof amplifies the spirit's structure and finish length, which extends with persistent peat and mineral notes. Essential for serious Islay enthusiasts seeking Lagavulin at cask strength without excessive wood influence.
