Lagavulin 1992 Single Malt Whisky - Prima & Ultima Second Release

The first of its kind from a small experimental batch matured entirely on Islay in freshly charred American Oak hogsheads, this is a very rare Lagavulin. Time has mellowed the smoky nature of this spirit making it elegantly rounded and smooth in texture. The Prima & Ultima 2nd Release has been personally hand-selected by Master of Malts Maureen Robinson; "I was able to reserve just five of these special casks, all filled on the same day. Lagavulin was the first single malt I tasted and it remains a favourite of mine. With its fine balance this expression is for me a fine white stallion of a malt, in which elegance and restrained smokiness are power enough. The enjoyment of connoisseurs will be ample reward for its long years in cask."

Nose
Mellow aromas of linseed oil and fragrant smoke introduce a smooth texture.
Body
Medium.
Palate
The lightly sweet and smoky taste starts softly, with a pinch of salt mid-palate, then becomes oaky with vanilla spice and gently drying.
Finish
It quietly builds in intensity and finishes long, leaving a sweet gingery warmth and light smoke in the aftertaste.
