Elements of Islay Lg7

This item is archived.

Exclusive to KWM, only 24 bottles coming!

Independent bottlings of Lagavulin are fairly rare, and when available they are usually cryptic, not refering to the distillery by name. Mature din 4 Bourbon Barrels filled in the mid 2000s. Bottled at 56.8%.

Producer Description: “Lagavulin whiskies are known for their meaty style, balanced by touch of sweet fruit. Lg7 is matured in refill bourbon barrels, and is everything we have come to expect from Lagavulin: Islay in a bottle.”

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Initially, maple-cured bacon and orange sponge cake give a great balance of sweet and savoury. Delicate honeysuckle is offset by barbecue char and toasted marshmallows. The smoke is full and aromatic, like Chinese tea.

Palate: thick and creamy with the classic iodine character and some sweeter notes coming through. There is a thick and meaty note, almost like caramelised beef fat blended with cockles and burnt honeycomb.

Finish: Warm spice with toasted caraway seeds and salty dryness.”
