"The Flames of the Phoenix" perfectly captures the essence of the 2022 Special Release Lagavulin, crafted to be the most phenolic expression yet. True Lagavulin fans will recognize it as a bold, peaty whiskey, with intense spice and power enhanced by aging in virgin oak casks and American oak refill casks.
Nose: Bonfire, bacon, and popcorn with some seaweed coastal notes, really strong saline influence.
Palate: Positively crackles with black pepper, sweet toffee, and smoky wood.
Finish:Big chilli peppers balanced with caramel.
Overall: Beautifully balanced classic Lagavulin, American oak sweetness really suits this.
