Lagavulin 2023 Special Release

Product Description 

This is the 22nd release of Lagavulin 12 Year Old released as part of Diageo's Special Releases series. Inspired by the spirit of intensity and pride that shines through Lagavulin's history. The Malt Master explores the famed symbols of the ancient Mesoamerican art of tattoo, rich in story and significance. The whisky, finished in Don Julio Añejo tequila casks, pulses with herbal flavours ancient and modern, engraving an indelible story. The windswept Isle of Islay instils a strength of character into everything it produces and it's here, nestled in a small bay that the beloved Lagavulin whisky has been made for over 200 years.
