Lagavulin 26 Year Old Special Release 2021 is an exceptional single malt Scotch whisky, part of Diageo’s prestigious annual special releases. Aged for 26 years, this whisky is a rare and luxurious expression from the renowned Islay distillery. It showcases the signature Lagavulin smokiness, but with an added depth and complexity that comes with extended aging. The whisky opens with rich and intense aromas of peat smoke, intertwined with notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and a touch of maritime salt. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and smooth, revealing layers of sweet sherry, spices, and hints of oak, all balanced by the characteristic Lagavulin smokiness. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering impression of smoke, spice, and a subtle sweetness.
