- Description
- Lagavulin's 21st Special Release in 2022 uses cask selection and blending strategy to intensify the standard profile—phenol-measured casks ensure extra smoky character while new-oak finishes add layered spice complexity at 57.3% ABV. The result is a more assertive, textured interpretation of the 12-year-old, with deeper peat smoke and warming oak spice throughout. Best enjoyed neat or with minimal water by experienced peat whisky enthusiasts.
