Step into a new chapter of Islay legend with Lagavulin Fireside Tales 12 Year Old. Known for its intense peat and rich smokiness, Lagavulin surprises with a softer side in this 2024 Special Release. Aged in first-fill ex-Bourbon and refill casks, this limited edition brings together bold peat with warm, inviting layers of toffee and vanilla. Perfect for those who crave both the fierce and the mellow, this whisky is a harmonious tribute to Lagavulin’s untamed roots, nestled in Islay’s rugged, wind-swept coastlines.

Tasting notes

Nose: Delicate yet distinctive. Gentle, drying aromas open to reveal soft coastal smoke—like embers from a beach bonfire—alongside fresh, clean phenolic notes.

Palate: Rich and velvety on the tongue, offering an initial wave of sweetness. Creamy toffee and vanilla give way to subtle salinity and a measured, balanced peat smoke.

Finish: Long and warming. The smoke intensifies toward the end, interwoven with a lingering spice that leaves a satisfying, dry afterglow.
