This is the Lagavulin 12 Year Old from Diageo's 2021 Special Releases. A familiar sight in the Special Releases range, this expression has spent twelve years maturing in refill American oak casks before being bottled at 56.5% ABV. The theme for this year’s Special Releases was 'Legends Untold', and accordingly, this bottle features a lion on the label. Not just any lion, however, but a lion with a flaming mane.

Nose: The smoke is quite restrained, maritime, with distant bonfires and lime, and just a hint of bacon Frazzles.

Palate: Black pepper, saline and wood smoke, a touch of wood tannin, followed by some sweeter toffee notes.

Finish: Black pepper, smoke and salt, with the citrus note returning.
