Lagavulin 12yo SR2023

來自艾雷島經典酒廠的年度限量款，第一口就是厚重的泥煤煙燻與海風鹹味，像把海邊的風景濃縮進杯中。香氣帶有藥草感、焦糖與溫暖的橡木香；入口油潤飽滿，煙燻與礦物鹹味交織，尾段有焦糖、香草與細緻香料感，餘韻悠長且層次豐富。製程上延續傳統泥煤乾燥麥芽、手工蒸餾與精選橡木桶熟成，酒廠選在海邊倉庫熟成，讓海風與煙煤味滲入木質與麥芽，呈現出這款獨特且具代表性的風格。適合慢慢品味、搭配濃郁奶酪或煙燻料理，感受每一層風味的變化。

A bold coastal dram from a renowned Islay distillery, presented as the 2023 special release. Expect a theatrical nose of smoked peat, sea spray and iodine that opens to layers of rich toffee, vanilla oak and a touch of dried fruit. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated — dense smoke and maritime minerality are balanced by warm oak spice and a hint of citrus oil. The texture is oily and generous, finishing with an enduring, mouth-coating tail of smoke, salted caramel and a medicinal echo. Producer notes: matured in selected oak casks with careful blending to preserve the signature peaty character that defines the house style. Distillation & maturation: traditional floor-malting influence and Islay peat used in the malt drying, long cask ageing in coastal warehouses imparts maritime notes and oak-driven spice. Vineyard notes (regional context): barley grown in nearby regions and the island’s peat bogs and salt air shape the malt and smoke profile.
