12-year-old

Lagavulin's 12-year-old is a formidable expression of Islay's peaty heritage. Matured in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks, this single malt strikes a compelling balance between smoky intensity and fruity sweetness, delivered at a robust 56.4% ABV with no compromises.

The nose reveals an inviting interplay of citrus, vanilla, and honey, grounded by characteristic bonfire smoke and ashy notes. On the palate, the whisky intensifies: punchy citrus and honey give way to peppery heat and burnt undertones, with mounting smoky character. The finish is long and drying, with leafy herbal notes, coastal brine, and tarry peat smoke that lingers persistently.

This whisky rewards slow appreciation—enjoy it neat or with a touch of water to unlock its full complexity and coastal character.
