Lagavulin 12 Years Old The Ink of Legends - Diageo Special Releases 2023 Whisky 70cl

Nose: A sort of creamy saline solution – I know that doesn’t sound very appealing, but bear with me – with hints of charred citrus. Briny oysters too. Also a whiff of driftwood, honeycomb, bonfire smoke, and oregano, as well as a touch of barbecued beef.
Taste: A fatty mouthfeel. (Thumbs up, always.) Then an initial sweetness as well as pickled lemons, followed by cracked black peppercorns, earthy peat smoke, a few pinches of salt and orange pith.
Finish: Medium to long. Lingering spices, quite dry and fairly sweet.
