Description
Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Release 2024 70cl, 57.4% is a powerful Islay single malt released as part of Diageo’s annual Special Releases collection. This edition is known as Fireside Tales, a fitting name for a whisky built around Lagavulin’s famous smoke, coastal depth and warming cask-strength character.
Matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon and refill casks, this 12-year-old expression shows a sweeter and more oak-driven side of Lagavulin while keeping the distillery’s unmistakable Islay identity. The profile brings together smouldering bonfire smoke, sea air, thick toffee, vanilla, coconut, salt, aromatic spice and drying peat.
At 57.4%, this is a serious cask-strength Lagavulin with excellent power and texture. The whisky opens with sweetness and creamy weight before moving into smoke, spice, salt and coastal dryness. Presented in its original dark Fireside Tales tube, it is a standout bottle for Lagavulin collectors, Islay whisky fans and drinkers who enjoy bold smoky Scotch with strong oak influence.
