Origin: Scotland
Distillery: Lagavulin
A diddy little 200ml bottle of Lagavulin 12 Year Old from the 2022 batch of Diageo Special Releases. Dubbed ‘The Flames of the Phoenix', it was designed to be the most phenolic Lagavulin yet. Fans of the distillery will know that means a truly peaty customer, with lots of spice and power amplified by the virgin oak casks this heavily peated Lagavulin was aged in, alongside American oak refill casks.
Lagavulin 12 Year Old (Special Release 2022) Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 200ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Bonfire, bacon, and popcorn with some seaweed coastal notes, really strong saline influence.
Palate: Positively crackles with black pepper, sweet toffee, and smoky wood.
Finish: Big chilli peppers balanced with caramel.
Distillery Information
Lagavulin is one of a trio of distilleries sat on the south coast of Islay. Lagavulin produces some of the smokiest whisky Scotland has to offer, with the Lagavulin 16 Year Old standing as their most storied expression. Located on the shores of the Lagavulin Bay, the Lagavulin distillery is home to two pairs of stills. Lagavulin has a long distillation time, and many believe this imparts the intense richness of the famous single malt whisky. John Johnston founded the Lagavulin distillery in 1816, though there had been as many as ten illicit distilleries in the area since 1742. Lagavulin was home to legal distilling under Johnston’s eye, however. Shortly after it opened, a distillery named Ardmore was opened close by, though this became part of Lagavulin a few decades later. In 1836, John Johnston died and Lagavulin was bought by Alexander Graham, a spirits merchant from Glasgow. 25 years later, the distillery came under the ownership of James Mackie, who brought in his nephew Peter Mackie to work at Lagavulin shortly afterwards. During his time at the Lagavulin distillery, Peter Mackie became well known for working incredibly hard indeed, earning the nickname Restless Peter. Mackie founded the Malt Mill distillery in disused Lagavulin buildings in 1908, though it closed in 1962. However, its legacy lives on throughout Lagavulin. The buildings now house the Lagavulin visitor centre, the stills have been incorporated into Lagavulin’s distilling equipment and a sample of Malt Mill whisky is kept at Lagavulin. Lagavulin decommissioned their own floor maltings in 1974 and they began to get their malt from Port Ellen.
