Age: 12 Years
Alcohol: 58.2% abv.
Region: Scotland, Islay
Bottled For: Distillery
This 12 year old natural cask-strength Lagavulin comes from a whitewashed jumble of buildings by the sea on Islay's rocky southern shore. It's pungent smoky and maritime aromas and taste are best appreciated with two parts still water to one part whisky. Any cloudiness is normal in an unfiltered cask strength malt.

Good laga but, honestly, I prefer the 16 years old expression. Is no rival for Laphroaig 10 CS.

Color: Very pale.
Nose: Phenol, Rubbing alcohol at full strength.
Body: Thin, for a moment then intensifies. Thickens quickly.
Palate: Bitter, though delicious. Sour, Peat, Salt.
Finish: Long and strong. Takes its time, not that i would want it to hurry.

Watered, Flavours remain, but thinner. Not worth watering. Drink full strength.
