	Variety	Single malt whisky
	Aroma	Dry and gentle, with fresh, clean phenols with smouldering campfire and wood ash, accompanied by accents of healing ointment and carbolic soap. Subtle, fruity notes and sweet rowanberry jelly follow. Slightly smokier with a drop of water.
	Taste	Slightly creamy and full-bodied texture, initially sweet then quickly dry with a pinch of salt, balanced smokiness with a tingling intensity on the lips. A drop of water brings out the sweetness more clearly.
	Finish	Long-lasting, strongly smoky and dry at the end with a warm, spicy twist that remains in the aftertaste.
	Region	Islay
	Maturation	Ex-bourbon, refill wine barrels made from American oak, refill barrels made from European oak
	Cask strength
	Smoky
	Limited edition!

Product description

This Lagavulin was bottled for the 2024 Special Releases. Under the motto 'what if', this year's bottlings from the Spirited Exchange Second Edition represent whisky craftsmanship combined with a high degree of creativity. Different flavours are presented through different and special cask compositions. The special releases guide tasters, whisky fans and single malt collectors through rare bottlings, rich flavour profiles and their own imagination. The 12-year-old Lagavulin matured in ex-bourbon casks and refill wine casks made from American oak as well as refill casks made from European oak. The surprisingly mild and sweetly smoky whisky flavour experience was bottled at natural cask strength. The elaborately designed outer packaging makes the limited special bottlings ideal as a collector's item or as a gift.

Herstellerbeschreibung

on 02.10.2024

Aroma: Trocken und sanft, dazu frische, saubere Phenole mit schwelendem Lagerfeuer und Holzasche, begleitet von Akzenten von Heilsalbe und Karbolseife. Es folgen subtile, fruchtige Noten und süßes Vogelbeerengelee. Mit einem Tropfen Wasser etwas rauchiger.

Geschmack: Leicht cremige und vollmundige Textur, zunächst süß dann schnell trocken mit einer Prise Salz, ausgewogen rauchig mit auf den Lippen prickelnder Intensität. Ein Tropfen Wasser bringt die Süße deutlicher hervor.

Abgang: Lang anhaltend, zum Schluss stark rauchig und trocken mit einem warmen, würzigen Twist, der auch im Nachgeschmack erhalten bleibt.

Kommentar: Ich bin ein Fan vom Lagavulin Special Release 12 Jahre. Ich finde den von 2021 jedoch besser. Trotzdem ist der von 2023 natürlich ein Super guter Whisky. Hat die 5 Sterne verdient.

Kommentar:
Jedes Jahr wieder spannend wie unterschiedlich ein Lagavulin doch schmecken kann. Schmeckt mir besser als die 2022 Variante.
