Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Release 2010

The tenth annual Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Release, frequently cited by enthusiasts as one of the standout bottlings from that era of the series.

Burning peat, cayenne pepper and charred lemon meet smoked fish and buttered toast on the nose; the palate is intensely peaty with green tea, olive oil and salted lime, finishing on salted pretzel and charcoal.
