Description

Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Release 2022 70cl, 57.3% is a powerful Islay single malt released as part of Diageo’s annual Special Releases collection. This edition is known as The Flames of the Phoenix, with dramatic fire-themed packaging that reflects the whisky’s intense smoky character.

Matured in refill American oak and virgin oak casks, this release shows Lagavulin in a bold, energetic and heavily peated style.

Presented in its original black and flame-designed tube, it is a standout bottle for any Lagavulin or Islay whisky collection.
