Lagavulin Natural Cask Strength 12 Year Scotch

Masterfully Crafted Intensity

A prestigious annual Special Release since 2002, bottled between 55%-60% ABV, this distinctive Islay single malt undergoes 12 years of maturation primarily in refill bourbon barrels, with some releases featuring virgin oak cask finishing to complement the intense smokiness. Master Blender Dr. Craig Wilson notes that the 2022 release was specifically crafted to be "as smoky a Lagavulin as we could" make, with virgin oak adding complementary spice notes to balance the powerful peat character that defines this legendary distillery's 200+ year legacy.

A Phoenix-Like Flavor Experience

The impressively smoky nose introduces a surprisingly complex palate where tart citrus and slight saltiness quickly give way to distinctive smoke and a tingling sensation reminiscent of mild jalapeño—creating a lingering heat that perfectly complements the whisky's deep character.

The aroma and flavor are no slouches, but the finish is so elegant and complex it makes slowly sipping it an alluring experience you want to relive over and over.
