Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Release 2021
Whisky/Whiskey, Cask Strength Whiskey, Brands, Lagavulin, Scotch Whisky, Single Malt Scotch, AlcoholAs our fable goes, The King of Islay seen upon the crest of Lagavulin was no ordinary feline, but a lion rampant who prowled the grounds of an Islay castle, a fresh victor, intense in power and pride. This brooding and battle-worn beast, won its crown through flame and ferocity – and came to represent one of Scotland’s most fiery distilleries.
Deceptive with its inviting golden hue, at first taste this rare beast growls gently, teasing with lemon, salty-sweetness and roasted tea. Intense blackened wood stalks the palate before a long, warming and drying finish, roaring with chilli pepper and great waves of smoke. A classic Lagavulin 12, striking in every way: The King of Islay, in his prime.

Lagavulin 1993 Prima & Ultima Third Release
Brands, Lagavulin, Prima & Ultima Collection, Whisky/Whiskey, Scotch Whisky, Single Malt Scotch, AlcoholA prized Lagavulin, from the last two 1993 casks, filled in the year the distillery won the first of an avalanche of international awards. It was the start of a golden era, a success that owed much to an Islay legend, Manager Grant Carmichael.
A Lagavulin at its mature peak with redcurrant fruitiness on the nose, soon overcome by the maritime scents of sea salt and sweet seaweed. Lightly oily, the smooth texture delivers a long mellow finish, a gloriously rich and rounded whisky.
TASTING NOTES
Appearance: Deep amber with ruby lights. Shiny chestnut. Very good beading and legs.
Body: Medium to full.
Nose: A mellow nose in feel, with light prickle. Redcurrant fruitiness is soon overcome by maritime scents of sea-salt and sweet seaweed on a base of woodsmoke.

Lagavulin 26 Year Old Special Release 2021
Whisky/Whiskey, Cask Strength Whiskey, Brands, Lagavulin, Scotch Whisky, Single Malt Scotch, AlcoholAs our fable goes, hidden within his den on Islay bay, The King of Islay guarded a gem of precious worth. The resplendent stone glowed ruby red, glistening with lustre. Won through decades of fire and ferocity, it reflected an alluring warmth and smoldering intensity – the captivating nature at the very heart of Lagavulin.
A deep-hued and regal malt, its dark, wine-woody aromas are pungent with peaty smoke, curled around baked figs. In the smooth, oily start a sweetness gleams, then salt and pepper season a savoury, smoke-wreathed intensity. These rich first fill Pedro Ximenez/Oloroso seasoned casks look back on vivid youth through the wise, battle-hardened prism of age, finishing long, sweet and sumptuous. At long last, a jewel is ready to share.

Lagavulin Offerman Edition Charred Oak Casks
Everyone knows that there are seven kinds of food. All of the fine people on this planet agree that the most gratifying thing a body can put in his or her mouth at any given time is one of the “Seven Delicious Foods.” Occasionally you might hear of a dissenting opinion on this matter, some befuddled “reader of books” arguing for a “well-balanced” or even” sensible” menu, if you can imagine, but just look at how utterly crackers those words look when written together. What’s next? “Aerobic exercise”? Preposterous. Of the legendary Seven (bacon, eggs, pancakes, scotch eggs, fish & chips, beef, and steak), one food stands head and shoulders above the rest, and that of course is steak: the ultimate food. The Cream of the Cow. Figuratively speaking of course, since cows also produce literal cream.
Furthermore, all agree that the ideal mouthfeel of steak is approximately medium-rare, with a well-seared, flavorsome crust, and one of the best ways to possibly improve this gustatory delight is by washing it down with the ideal dram of Lagavulin 11 Year that we have curated specifically for this task. We collected charismatic casks of American White Oak, with a few European Oak thrown in for culture, all of which had previously held either scotch or wine. The cask interiors were shaved down and then heavily re-charred before we filled them with our golden 11 – year single malt whisky for maturation.
The result, which you very, fortunately, hold in your enviable grip even now, is sheer alchemy. It suggests some peat, chocolate, and treacle on the nose, with a hint of red berry and a creaminess that just waves hello in passing. The berry notes, however, pull up a chair in the mouth, complemented by pungent, peaty, woody, and spicy tones on the palate, inferring a pleasing chocolaty sensibility. One could argue that the glowing, lingering, spicy, and simply sensational finish is precisely the pinnacle of what human evolution was leading up to this entire time. It’s like a mouthful of Scottish poetry, pairing superbly with the steak, obviously, but I aver you’ll find it just as pleasing with any of the Seven Delicious foods.

Oban 12 Year Old Special Release 2021
Whisky/Whiskey, Cask Strength Whiskey, Brands, Lagavulin, Scotch Whisky, Single Malt Scotch, AlcoholAs our fable goes, wedged between the Highlands and Isles where Oban’s distillery came to lie, twin foxes were born into light and dark. They were relentless opposites; one, with a bright orange coat, possessed the Highland’s gift for lightness and speed. The other, dark as smoke, possessed the Isles’ camouflaged mystique. Each fox contrasted and skillfully balanced the other.
The sweet-natured sibling stirs bright-eyed, nose keen with sweet chilli, smooth-textured, the taste lightly citrus-sweet. Maritime aromas offer contrast, with crystal salt and oil, then a pinch of salt and the power of fresh-charred casks. Fresh crunchy oak spice, a deep orange sweetness and a lengthy, peppery finish combine to perfection, to tell this lush tale of light and dark.
