Lagavulin 1997 / 25 Year Old / Prima & Ultima 4 Islay Whisky

Lagavulin's 1997 vintage from Prima & Ultima spent 25 years in refill American oak, bottled at cask strength in 2022. The nose opens with carbolic soap, birchwood bonfires, and bergamot oil—a striking aromatic profile that sits between maritime Islay and medicinal warmth. The palate follows with lapsang souchong tea and sea spray, maintaining the distillery's signature peat while allowing underlying complexity to surface. Ideal for those seeking mature Lagavulin with restraint and refinement at natural strength.
