Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Release 2025 Grain & Embers Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky 56.5%

Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Release 2025 is a powerful and smoky Islay whisky, bottled at natural cask strength and part of Diageo’s exclusive Special Releases series. This edition offers intense peat smoke, salty sea air, and a complex flavour profile that balances classic Lagavulin character with sweetness and spice.

The nose opens with strong, ashy peat and a salt-kissed coastal breeze, rounded off by notes of honey, toffee, and vanilla. Darker fruits like plum and orange peel hide in the background, along with coconut and baked oak.

The palate is dominated by smoke, elegantly balanced by creamy toffee, fruit compote, and warm spices such as cedar and pepper. The finish is long and warm with lingering smoke, sweet oak, and soft citrus.
