12 Year Old Special Release 2025

About

Lagavulin's 12 Year Old Special Release 2025 is a powerful single malt that showcases the distillery's signature peat smoke in full intensity. Matured in sherry casks and bottled at natural strength (56.5% ABV), this limited edition release offers a complex and layered profile that will captivate both seasoned collectors and curious explorers of Islay whisky. The nose reveals citrus notes of lemon and waxy orange peel, with oak and creamy vanilla in the background. On the palate, a velvety mouthfeel unfolds with sweet melon and chocolate, underpinned by the distillery's signature peat smoke and briny maritime character. Dried fruit, peppery heat, and a spicy warmth develop, while mineral elements add subtle refinement. The finish is long and bittersweet, with waves of dried fruit, burnt sugar, and earthy spice that linger beautifully.
