Lagavulin Aged 12 Years 2019 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky (30ml) 56.5% abv
The yearly Lagavulin special release is always sought after and more often than not this release is the pick of the whiskies for the year. This year is no exception, classic Islay laga smoke combined with delicious fruits, sea salt and cured meats. A combination made in heaven.
