The Lagavulin 12 Year Old Tequila Finish Cask Strength is a bold and distinctive limited release that reimagines Islayâs iconic smoky character through the lens of tequila cask maturation. Bottled at natural cask strength, this rare expression offers a captivating fusion of maritime peat, citrus brightness, and subtle agave sweetnessâan inventive twist on the classic Lagavulin style.
Distillery and Maturation
Crafted on the rugged coast of Islay, this whisky begins as Lagavulinâs signature 12-year-old single malt, matured in refill American oak casks before being finished in select tequila-seasoned casks from Mexico. The finishing adds layers of herbal complexity and lively citrus notes while preserving the distilleryâs unmistakable smoky intensity. Non-chill filtered and bottled at natural strength, it delivers exceptional purity and depth.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of sea salt, lime peel, and charred oak rise from the glass, intertwined with notes of agave nectar, smoked chili, and maritime peat. The palate is powerful and layeredâsmoky and saline at first, then unfolding into bursts of citrus zest, vanilla, and subtle green herbs. The finish is long and warming, with lingering smoke and a whisper of sweet spice.
Style and Character
This release highlights Lagavulinâs mastery of balance between intensity and innovation. The tequila cask influence introduces a bright, earthy lift to the classic Islay smoke, resulting in a whisky that is both deeply traditional and strikingly contemporary.
Serving and Pairing
Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open its aromatic complexity. Excellent alongside chargrilled seafood, barbecued meats, or dark chocolate with sea salt, complementing its smoky and citrus-driven profile.
