Bottle #ラガヴーリン(LAGAVULIN)
The condition was excellent and it had a very enjoyable aroma.
Lagavulin LAGAVULIN 12yo OB cream label 43%
Circulated in the 1980s
The aroma features old sherry, light berries, apricot jam, dry orange, leather, leaf mold, gentle iodine and smoke, with a very enjoyable aroma.
When drinking it, the smooth mouthfeel expands into an aromatic old sherry, light berries, a slightly chewy texture and umami, the sweetness of apricot jam, a solid peat with strong earthiness, briny notes, leather, and a rich body that gradually expands. The long-lasting enjoyable aftertaste is remarkable.
[Very Good/Excellent]
This is the official Lagavulin 12 Year Old, commonly known as the cream label, which was mainly circulated in the 1980s.
It follows the white label as another official Lagavulin 12 Year Old, and is also a highly popular old bottle that cannot be purchased at today's market prices.
With the clear influence of old sherry casks, it offers a diverse fruity sensation with a smooth viscosity, combined with earthy notes like leather and leaf mold, as well as an enduring strong peatiness that has not faded with age. It has a surprising body and concentration for its 43% alcohol content, and the enjoyable aftertaste lingers for a long time.
The condition is excellent, and the 30 minutes I spent tasting it were an exceptionally wonderful time.
