Lagavulin 12 J. 56,5% Grain & Embers – Diageo Special Release 2025

This fragrance has strong, moderate aromas initially phenolic with smoky peat and wood ash, followed by a sweet, mineral-sea note reminiscent of crab shells, fresh mussels, and dry oyster shells. The taste is smooth and slightly oily, with robust flavors, sweetness, and a salty, peppery finish. It becomes smoother with water but remains lively. The aftertaste is very long, dry, and smoky with lingering saltiness and persistent peat.
