This is an interesting move by a distillery, to put out something that’s younger than its flagship whisky ( Lagavulin 16) to celebrate the milestone.

In 2018 it was announced that Georgie Crawford, distillery manager of seven years, would be leaving to revive Port Ellen distillery. The oldest expression from Diageo's 2021 Special Release, this is a 26 year old single malt from the mighty Lagavulin! This fairly young but good dram is strong and smoky, with lots of sweet spots and peppery character as well. To celebrate their 200 th anniversary, Lagavulin didn’t just release a super-premium, unobtainable, uber-expensive commemorative expression exclusively for deep-pocketed connoisseurs (although they did do that).Burunda genç karakterine rağmen keyifli bulsam da damakta biraz dengesiz ve gövdesi düşük bir ekspresyon. I’ve usually made a reference regarding Irvine Welsh in my Lagavulin reviews but this time, because of the backstory, and because this single malt is strong but pure: I’ll just state this as Whisky Galore! A celebration of the people and craft that have made Lagavulin great over the last two centuries, its fragrant, tea-scented smoke alongside nose-drying, maritime aromas is unlocked with just a drop of water.

John Johnston founded the Lagavulin distillery in 1816, though there had been as many as ten illicit distilleries in the area since 1742. g. purchase, investment) whatsoever based on the Service you should consider obtaining third party professional/expert advice on the matter, and you should consider whether such the decision is suitable and feasible with respect to (inter alia) your financial status and situation, your particular knowledge/experience on the matter (e. Pears and apples bowl out of the glass followed by notes of cinnamon, honey, peat and vanilla rich spirity malt with a light bit of bubblegum. I usually get a cloying bubblegum note with French Oak, but everything I’ve read about the Lagavulin 8 says it’s mostly ex-bourbon casks.

The Islay distillery’s distinctive smokiness is amplified by a finish in Don Julio Añejo Tequila casks. If you would like to change your settings or withdraw consent at any time, the link to do so is in our privacy policy accessible from our home page.

I haven’t done much in the way of re-reviews but I thought it might be interesting to record my thoughts on it, six years later. Most distilleries put out something older or pull from the archives to create something unique and rare, so what was the reasoning for putting something out that’s 1/2 the age of the standard Lag? It kicks off with a mellow sweetness, intertwined with intense peat smoke, a touch of iodine, and hints of rich, ripe fruits. Any new functionalities, tools and features shall be part of and governed by the Terms from the moment they are launched and/or available. For those struggling with the less-conventional experience this offers, stick with the 16 (or keep drinking Highland).

The Flames of the Phoenix' is an appropriate theme for the 2022 Special Release bottling of Lagavulin, as it was designed to be the most phenolic Lagavulin yet.
