Lagavulin is renowned for producing some of the most intense and complex single malt whiskies in Scotland, and the Prima & Ultima series takes this to the next level. This particular release is a 25-year-old single-malt Scotch whisky distilled in 1997 and bottled in 2022, making it a true collector's item. The whisky is drawn from a very small number of casks, each with its own unique story to tell. Lagavulin is known for its rich, peaty flavor profile, and this expression is no exception.
Tasting notes:
Nose

Palate
The peat smoke is front and center on the palate, with flavors of charred wood, leather, and a hint of brine. The sweetness of vanilla and honey provides a nice balance.
Finish
The finish is long and warming, with smoky and salty notes lingering on the palate. A touch of sweetness brings the experience to a satisfying close.
