Lagavulin, Prima & Ultima Third Release
A mature Lagavulin drawn from the final two casks filled in 1993, the year the distillery began a run of international recognition under manager Grant Carmichael. Now at full maturity, it shows redcurrant notes on the nose before shifting toward maritime elements, including sea salt and sweet seaweed. Rich and rounded, it reflects Lagavulin at a settled, confident stage of its development.
Nose
Smoke, iodine, trifle, vanilla
Palate
Peat smoke, dried orchard fruits, vanilla
Finish
Soft smoke, oak spice, salt
A layered introduction shows Islay smoke, soft sherry fruit and gentle bourbon sweetness with a faint iodine note. The palate is complex and balanced with peat, dried fruit and vanilla all in play. The finish is long with soft smoke, oak spice and a subtle coastal salinity that keeps Lagavulin’s identity intact.
