TASTING NOTES - LAGAVULIN 12 YEARS OLD (SPECIAL RELEASE 2021)

Nose

Three different layers are overlapping: fruit (with melon and unripe peach), citrus (mellow and sweet Sorrento lemon) and peat (iodine but fresh). The overall sensation is of good integration and a creamy result.

Palate

The entrance is pretty spicy and peppery, with an interesting kick. These tip of the tongue sensations are boosted by a good alcoholic percentage. Peat is still present, and the product does not lose its creamy, buttery quality, with grilled yellow fruit sweetness.

Finish

Medium-long, typically peated and iodine, marine. The fruity component is quite thin, just a whisper of lemon in the form of a semi-sweet Sorrento one of good quality.

Lagavulin 12 Years Old (Special Release 2021) is definitely a good whisky, where peat, fruity and iodine fresh citrus components are well integrated together in a creamy, velvety sensation. The registry changes a little in the palate, where the spicy kick is somehow less standardized, making the experience more varied, but also stressing a little the tone of the fruition. At moments looks even younger than its age.
