One of my all-time favorite whisky lines. This one is aged in refill casks and PX/Olorosso casks. It’s essentially a younger version of the Distiller’s Edition on steroids—with a couple added elements. Nose: Sea salt and brine. Coastal peat notes. Seaweed and iodine. Tennis ball. Black pepper. Lemon citrus. Pencil shavings. Vanilla wafer. Floral. Some grapefruit. A bit of soapiness. Palate: Vanilla custard. Sea salt and brine. Saltwater taffy. Salted caramel. Campfire smoke and ash. Big-time oyster. Toasted almond. Cinnamon. Rich milk chocolate. Sugar cookie. Graham cracker. Plum and red grape. Bandaid. Finish: Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg. Some hay. Hazelnut. Bandaid. Baking soda. Clove, nutmeg, and white pepper. Sea salt. Black pepper and oak. Cola. This is another awesome addition in a long line of Lag 12s. Not my favorite, but objectively a great whisky. It’s a fruity affair compared to its predecessors, but that’s to be excepted to with the cask selection. At $160, these are starting to get expensive, but it’s worth it. It offers a great profile that packs a hell of a punch. Well done, Lag. 4.5/5.
