Tasting Notes

Nose

Sea spray, smoking embers, lemon zest and freshly creosoted timber. A little vanilla and white pepper with air.

Palate

Powerful and oily. Brine, charred lemon, ash, hot tar and a streak of barley sweetness underneath. Water draws out vanilla and seaweed.

Finish

Long, drying, full of ash, salt and a slow ember warmth.

Expert Review

9/10

An annual cask-strength fixture of Diageo's Special Releases since 2002 — younger, fiercer Lagavulin from refill American oak.
