Prima & Ultima Lagavulin 28 year old 1992, 47.7%

Price: 32450 Issue: Winter 2021 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch


An experimental batch fully matured at Lagavulin in a freshly charred American oak hogshead, the aromatic peat smoke dissipates quickly, leaving scents of lemon lozenges, subtle smoked fish, linoleum floors, and a few drops of lime. The grapefruit, wood oils, vanilla sponge, honeydew melon, and oak flavors build slowly, notching up more smoke and tangy citrus to a climax of salted vanilla caramel with just a hint of peppermint. Sold in a set of 8 bottles. (1,081 bottles)
