LAGAVULIN ISLAY EXCLUSIVE 13Y 70CL was announced to celebrate the 23rd edition of the Islay Jazz Festival. It was only made available through malts.com, which is Diageo’s platform for their Scotch whiskies. The problem is that they only ship within the UK, which seems insane even by post-Brexit standards. But that’s simply the way it is. Luckily a fellow Dutchman Tom was up for the challenge. Through sheer determination he managed to get a bottle of the Lagavulin 13 Years Ex-Mezcal Casks to the Netherlands

Description

LAGAVULIN ISLAY EXCLUSIVE 13Y 70CL A limited-edition 13-year-old Lagavulin single malt, finished in American oak ex-port casks and bottled for the 2021 Feis Ile festival. The palate offers notes of rich smoke, creamy vanilla, sweet spices and port-soaked fruit that lingers in the finish.

Tasting Notes:
NOSE:Balanced sweet and savoury, with a touch of mucky farmyard and silage contrasting against sweet peat smoke, smoky butterscotch and custard. Briny notes build, accompanied by burning ferns.
PALATE:Surprisingly sweet at first, with sugar and spice slowly disappearing under a wave of damp peat smoke and burning leaves. Earthy notes and savoury char build, followed by numbing menthol.
FINISH:Mint and menthol are slowly drowned in tarry smoke.
