Lagavulin 12 years old Special Release of Islay Collection Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Lagavulin
89
Lagavulin 12 year Special Reserve
This 12 year old natural cask-strength Lagavulin comes from a whitewashed jumble of buildings by the sea on Islay's rocky southern shore, just a mile away from Laphroaig

It's pungent smoky and maritime aromas and taste are best appreciated with two parts still water to one part whisky. Any cloudiness is normal in an unfiltered cask strength malt.

If you want to know how Lagavulin tastes without any sherry, this is your answer. Simple pure peat muscle. I love it!

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (92): inexistent. fruity, sweet, malt, floral, peat. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (88): . hot! sweet, oak, fruity, peat. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (88): no finish. looong, peat and wood and somesweet. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Lagavulin 12 year Special Reserve with 89 points over 100.
