Lagavulin 1985 Diageo Special Releases 2007 56.5% 700ml information

The Lagavulin 1985 Diageo Special Releases 2007 is a legendary 21-year-old whisky, boasting 95 points on Whiskyfun and originally released in 2007. This was the last fully sherried release from Lagavulin, making it highly sought-after. It was matured in Spanish sherry European oak casks, with 6,642 bottles released. The nose offers a sweet and creamy peat aroma, intertwined with sherry, prunes, orange marmalade, smoked ham, and game. It then evolves with hints of eucalyptus, strawberry jam, sea water, and herbal liqueurs, resulting in a complex and intriguing experience. On the palate, it delivers a powerful punch of peaty grip, with pepper, walnuts, crystallized ginger, tar, mint, eucalyptus, bitter oranges, and strong liquorice. The smokiness is intense, complemented by wood ashes, Havana tobacco, ripe gooseberries, and dried longans. The finish is long-lasting, ample, salty, and liquoricy, leaving you craving more. Lagavulin, located on the southern coast of Islay, is renowned for its heavily-peated single malt whisky. The distillery's house style is characterized by a strong sweetness alongside its phenolicity, making it a well-regarded member of the Islay triumvirate alongside Laphroaig and Ardbeg.
