Introducing the flames of the phoenix…
Every year since 2001, Diageo has unveiled its Special Releases – a limited-edition series of highly collectable and sought-after Scotch whiskies exploring the breadth and depth of their portfolio. What makes them so exciting is Diageo’s unparalleled ability to cherry-pick anything from a lost barrel produced at a ‘ghost’ distillery to an experimental expression from a world-renowned brand. These are one-of-a-kind bottlings that are not to be missed…
Curated by Diageo’s Master Blender, Dr Craig Wilson, the 2022 Special Releases collection is entitled ‘Legends Untold Chapter 2’. These cask-strength whiskies take inspiration from the mysterious mythological creatures said to inhabit the lands around the distilleries chosen. The bottles were designed by two illustrators, Kevin Tong and Ken Taylor, and might well be the most colourful and vivid yet. Each bottle carries a QR code, providing the owner access to a “multi-sensory experience” of legends and tales from the distilleries, plus innovative cocktail ideas. Fans of Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Scotch of course will find much to love here.
Cask-strength Lagavulin is always popular. So, this Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Release 2022, drawn from their smokiest reserves and matured in virgin oak, is sure to fly out. It was inspired by the legend of the rebirth of the King of Islay. On that day a spark of sunlight set the land ablaze, scorching the earth and turning it black. But new life rose from the ashes, like a phoenix from the flames, powering the stills at Lagavulin and amplifying its intensity.
Although the classic Lagavulin is bottled as a 16 Year Old, many believe that its perfect age is 12 and this expression would appear to confirm that once again. Powerful smoke, charcoal, peat, ocean breeze, sea salt, Mexican chillies, crackling spices, and Arbroath Smokie doused in lemon juice; this is one of the most intense Lagavulins we’ve ever tasted.
The illustrious Lagavulin distillery was founded in 1816, and the rich, smoky and elegant whiskies produced there are a firm favourite of connoisseurs and collectors. Boasting an unmistakably Islay style of maritime meets medicinal, Lagavulin is the most heavily-peated of the southern Islay malts and is usually matured in ex-Bourbon barrels, accentuating its uncompromising smoky, salty character.
