Lagavulin 12 Year Old – Special Releases 2023

Though always a highly regarded Islay whisky, Lagavulin has enjoyed a skyrocketing rise in popularity in recent years, resulting in even the more common expressions becoming increasingly difficult to source. This 2023 Special Release Lagavulin will be a particular point of excitement for the growing fanbase of the distillery, as it is the first time the whisky has ever been matured in ex-Tequila casks. This extra maturation in Don Julio Añejo tequila casks has accentuated the raw smoky properties of the already pungent whisky, leading to thick herbal smoke and dark plum notes in the resulting whisky.
