Lagavulin 12 Year Old Grain & Embers 2025 is a limited-edition Islay single malt from Diageo's Special Releases, matured for 12 years in refill casks alongside Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso-seasoned European oak butts. Bottled at natural cask strength of 56.5% ABV, it's non-chill filtered with no added color, blending bold peat smoke with subtle sherry influences. This experimental fusion honors Lagavulin's maritime heritage while introducing toasty, ember-like depth.

A bold, phenolic profile bursts with smoldering peat, wood ash, and maritime rock pools, alongside hints of oyster shells, medicinal smoke, and charred grapefruit. Subtle dried fruits like raisins and figs emerge over time, layered with toasted cereals and a touch of black pepper.

Smooth and lightly oily, it delivers intense dried fruits—raisins, figs, dates—intertwined with assertive peat, salted caramel, malted barley, and spicy oak. Coastal brine and savory nuts add complexity, softening beautifully with a drop of water to reveal coffee and chocolate undertones.

Long, drying, and smoky, with lingering sea salt, charred embers, peat echoes, and a whisper of chili pepper warmth. Spices like black pepper and licorice persist alongside faint citrus and roasted coffee.

This release stands out for its innovative cask marrying, where sherry-seasoned butts enhance Lagavulin's signature peat without overpowering it, evoking fire-baked embers and artisan bread. As a cask-strength powerhouse, it offers nuanced depth rare in peated malts, earning high praise like 94 points for its experimental edge and Islay intensity.

Sip neat or with a few drops of water to unlock sweeter layers and spice at room temperature, ideally from a Glencairn glass to capture its aromas. Perfect as a digestif by the fireside, pairing with smoked oysters, dark chocolate, or roasted nuts to amplify its embers and maritime soul. Share sparingly—it's a collector's gem meant for savoring.
