Elements of Islay Lg11 (Lagavulin)
This is a marriage of two barrels of 2007 Lagavulin, which was aged for 14 years, and a further two 2007 barrels, which were aged for eight years and subsequently rested in glass to maintain their sprightly character. This whisky displays a generous helping of coastal character, along with plenty of creamy and savoury flavours. 1067 bottles produced.
Core Flavour: Earthy smoke, smoked meats, creamy character
Cask details: Ex-bourbon barrels
Tasting notes:
Nose: Chewy toffee penny sweets and Russian Caravan tea leaves. Dried seaweed and dried meat entwine with juicy red grapes and rolled oats.
Palate: Smoked pancetta carbonara and cracked black pepper. A hint of almond butter and a bag of Scampi Fries, followed by fruit with a coastal edge - zesty pear chutney and freshly-shucked oysters.
Finish: Punchy and lingering - creamy nettle soup and prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, with lots of earthy smoke.
