This featured bottling of the Lagavulin’s 2021 Special Release 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch is the most exclusive and oldest iteration from this highly-anticipated series and marks the first release of a 26 year old whisky from the renowned distillery. The whisky is composed of a 1994 vintage barreling matured in first-fill Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry-seasoned casks and is entitled “The Lion’s Jewel”, beautifully befitting its decorative labeling which depicts a proud lion framed in a mountain sunset. Bottled at 44.2% ABV and released in a limited run of just 7,542 bottles, this regal single malt offers aromatic tones of cloves, wild red berries, and dry meat smoke. On the palate are bites of crushed mint, tobacco, and spice. Most certainly a jewel for any whisky collection, The Lagavulin 2021 Special Release 26 year old Single Malt is a spirited Scotch with a warm, ashen finish that brims with hints of herb and shaved ginger.
