Lagavulin 12 Years Old The Ink of Legends
RM628.00
Lagavulin 12 Years Old The Ink of Legends is a bold limited-edition Islay single malt Scotch whisky released as part of the Diageo Special Releases 2023 collection. This 12-year-old Lagavulin keeps the distillery’s famous coastal peat smoke, but adds a distinctive twist through finishing in Don Julio Añejo tequila casks.
Bottled at 56.4% ABV, The Ink of Legends is a powerful cask-strength-style whisky built for drinkers who enjoy smoke, brine, citrus, herbs and mineral depth. The tequila cask influence adds cooked agave, lime, gentle sweetness and a savoury edge, creating a very different Lagavulin profile while still keeping its unmistakable Islay identity.
On the nose, expect fresh sea air, lime zest, citrus, ripe berries, seaweed, brine, herbal smoke and cooked agave. The palate is robust and expressive, with peat smoke, seawater, olives, gherkins, samphire, juicy plums, small lemons, caramel, vanilla, iodine and mineral notes. The finish is long, salty, smoky and lip-tingling, making it a memorable bottle for Lagavulin fans, Islay whisky collectors and adventurous whisky drinkers.
