Lagavulin12 Year Old Islay Whisky (Special Release 2019)
R1,749
About
The yearly Diageo Special Release of Lagavulin 12 Year Old is always a treat, and 2019 does not disappoint. You've got the classic Islay smoke, you've got fruit, you've got a pinch of sea salt - and this year, you've got a bird of prey on the label! This isn't simply because birds of prey are cool (though they are), it's because the overarching theme of the Special Release 2019 series is 'Rare by Nature'.
Product Features
- Nose:Everything you would expect from the annual Lagavulin 12 Year Old.
- Sweet peat smoke like a recently extinguished bonfire accompanied by memories of sparklers on 5th November. Salty sea breeze, shellfish and seaweed.
- Tangy fruity aroma, like Bramley Apples ready for a homemade apple pie.
- Add a little water and you get freshly cut wet grass and autumn leaves after a downpour.
- Palate: Citrusy, spicy and smoky. Like taking a drag on your Grandad’s cigar.
- Intense ashes to start, smooth in texture with a warm finish. Being at natural strength allows the water to not diminish the character.
- Finish: A nice warming sweet smoke with lemony tones. A dash of salt through the smoke.

Humble bragging. How is this still a thing?
You know the type. They'll say something along the lines of "I really miss my old Chevy Spark. This Audi SUV is so much harder to park."
Rest assured they don't miss that Chevy AT ALL. They just want you to know that they spent truckloads of cash on the latest Audi, but they want to come across as really casual because somehow that makes them cooler. Or something.
You'd think the complete lack of any complimentary responses would put an end to this type of self-appreciation, but if anything it's happening more and more.
We'd love to come up with an effective solution to it (honestly, it's what the world needs) but we're waaay too busy running a successful eCommerce company to actually invest the time.
Did you know we're also getting our PhDs on the side? No big deal.
