Description
Bottled at cask strength (56.5% ABV), the Grain & Embers 2025 Special Release is Lagavulin's annual 12 year old statement on what peat and oak can do together. Maturation in refill casks and Pedro Ximénez-seasoned European oak pulls dark fruit and spice into the distillery's Islay smoke, giving the whisky a sweetness and warmth that sits alongside its raw power rather than softening it.
On the nose and palate, smoldering peat and wood ash arrive first, trailed by salted sea air, raisin and fig, vanilla, and quick flashes of citrus zest. It's a 750 ml pour aimed at drinkers who follow Islay closely and want the distillery's house character at full strength.
