Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Release 2023 |
As our fable goes, The King of Islay seen upon the crest of Lagavulin was no ordinary feline, but a lion rampant who prowled the grounds of an Islay castle, a fresh victor, intense in power and pride. This brooding and battle-worn beast, won its crown through flame and ferocity – and came to represent one of Scotland’s most fiery distilleries.
Deceptive with its inviting golden hue, at first taste this rare beast growls gently, teasing with lemon, salty-sweetness and roasted tea. Intense blackened wood stalks the palate before a long, warming and drying finish, roaring with chilli pepper and great waves of smoke. A classic Lagavulin 12, striking in every way: The King of Islay, in his prime.

Not the correct bottle
Great tasting scotch. Just not the bottle I purchased. The 2022 (not 2021) 12 Year Old Special Release was sent. That being said; the transaction was easy and shipping was relatively quick.
Okay
This was my first time having a bottle shipped to my house. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. The item arrived quickly and the product was as advertised. The shipping materials were very sturdy. However, the decorative tube had a dent in it upon arrival. I normally wouldn’t care about that, but it was an expensive bottle for a special occasion.
