The Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Release 2023 is a bold and distinctive Islay single malt Scotch whisky that encapsulates the raw, smoky essence of the island. Known for its iconic peat-driven character, this expression stands out with its exceptional balance of power and finesse.

This whisky is matured in a combination of American oak casks, giving it a deep, amber color with an intriguing complexity of flavors. The nose reveals an intense waft of sea breeze, salt, and smoldering peat, accompanied by hints of dried fruit, vanilla, and the slightest touch of medicinal herbs, offering a deep dive into Lagavulin’s signature smoky profile. On the palate, it’s a rich, robust experience, with bold waves of peat smoke wrapping around notes of black pepper, citrus zest, and a touch of brine, culminating in a long, warming finish that lingers with subtle spice and oak.

The 2023 release benefits from the perfect harmony between the intense peat character and the nuances of the cask aging, resulting in a whisky that is both daring and refined. It’s a true testament to the distillery’s craft and a must-have for aficionados seeking a smoky yet sophisticated dram.

Tasting Notes

Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Release 2023 Tasting Notes:

Nose: A powerful rush of salty sea breeze and intense peat smoke, immediately transporting you to the rugged shores of Islay. Subtle hints of brine and iodine mingle with dried fruit, vanilla, and a faint medicinal quality, adding depth and complexity to the smoky base. There's a touch of citrus zest, with lemon and orange peels lifting the intensity and balancing the richer aromas.
Palate: Bold and full-bodied, with layers of smoky peat and a spicy kick of black pepper. The initial rush of smokiness is tempered by flavors of dried fruits, including raisin and apricot, with a creamy mouthfeel from the oak influence. A slight maritime tang adds a sense of place, with a slight sweetness from vanilla and honey as the whisky opens up.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of charred wood, peppery spice, and a gentle saltiness. The smoke remains, gradually fading into a sweet, oaky finish with a touch of dried herbs, leaving behind a refined yet powerful aftertaste.

A whisky that balances intensity with nuance, making it a standout release for 2023.
