Lagg Inaugural Release 2022 Batch 2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

The spirit for this release was matured in first fill ex-bourbon wood for 30 months and then finished for six months in custom made 55L ex-Oloroso sherry Firkin casks. By a considerable margin, Batch #2 is the most deeply coloured whisky in the new Lagg range with aromas that fuse dried fruit cake, dark chocolate, liquorice root, menthol cigarettes and wood smoke. The palate is sweeter, thicker and richer than Batch #1 delivering a satisfying blend of sherry and smoke that really works. The peat also feels slightly more reserved in this bottling, so if you like sherry matured malts but don't mind a bit of smoke, this will be the Lagg for you. Dried fruits, vanilla and oily malt add sweetness to the finish; late wisps of tobacco smoke linger. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 10,000 bottles produced.

Notes from the producers... Expect notes of sultanas, warm spices and smoke.
