    The 2021 Diageo Special & Rare collection is known as "Fables Untold", drawn from some of Scotland’s most interesting, legendary distilleries and curated by Master Blender Dr Craig Wilson, portrays the otherworldly beings which have fiercely protected the heartlands of remote Scottish distilleries for an eternity, according to our ancient fables and the mythical creatures come to life revealing their true characters. This year each bottle has its own unique QR code which, when scanned, takes you on a multi-sensory experience that tells you the story of the whisky, the mythical creature behind the artwork, and gives you some tasting notes to prompt your nose and palate along the way. 

    The Lagavulin 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky "The Lions Fire" as the fable goes, The King of Islay seen upon the crest of Lagavulin was no ordinary feline, but a lion rampant who prowled the grounds of an Islay castle, a fresh victor, intense in power and pride. This brooding and battle-worn beast, won its crown through flame and ferocity - and came to represent one of Scotland's most fiery distilleries.From Islay's history of fierce competition, emerged a taste triumphant. One of the oldest distilleries on the island, Lagavulin's early leader James Logan Mackie and his unrelenting nephew Peter J. Mackie, known as "Restless Pete," were renowned for going the extra mile in the name of achieving powerful flavour. That tenacious spirit can be tasted in every sip of this legendary dram.

    Deceptive with its inviting golden hue, at first taste this rare beast growls gently, teasing with lemon, salty-sweetness and roasted tea. Intense blackened wood stalks the palate before a long, warming and drying finish, roaring with chilli pepper and great waves of smoke. A classic Lagavulin 12, striking in every way: The King of Islay, in his prime.

    Bottled at cask strength from 100% re-fill American Oak casks. This whisky shows what is special about Lagavulin. Smoky, creamy, slightly sweet, beautifully rounded and harmonious.
