Description

As part of Diageo's 2023 Special Releases, this Lagavulin 12 Year Old single malt was finished in Don Julio Añejo Tequila casks. Named 'The Ink of Legends', it offers indelible layers of bright, herbal smoke and dark plum fruit to the distillery's notoriously smoky whisky. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 56.4%, it is a testament to the wild and untamed spirit of Islay.
