LAGAVULIN 12 YEAR OLD ‘FLAME OF THE PHOENIX’

Lagavulin 12 Year Old
Flame of the Phoenix
OB, Islay Single Malt Whisky
Refilled heavily peated American oak and virgin oak | 57.3% | 70cl

A true expression of Lagavulin, matured in a combination of virgin oak casks and our smokiest reserves.

Nose: Hints of briny oysters, vegetal peat smoke and ever so subtle sauerkraut. There’s some seaweed and iodine too, as well as asphalt, white pepper and bung cloth. Touches of mineral Riesling and mush banana round things off
Taste: Fatty mouthfeel. More vegetal peat, charred lemon peel and lovely briny notes, as well as mineral touches. Spices such as ginger, pepper and cloves are present but well-regulated
Finish: Charred oak, spices, ash and vegetal smoke
