Lagg Inaugural Release 2022 Batch 3 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

The third Lagg in the inaugural series was matured in first fill, ex-bourbon casks for 30 months and then finished for six months prior to release in 55L ex-Rioja red wine Firkin casks made especially for the distillery. Like Batch #2, the finishing seems to have reigned in the smoke to some degree, with the highlight here being a plump, juicy, malty mid-palate enriched by oily peat reek and balanced by gentle bristling spices. A soft, sponge-cakey, Summer pudding sweetness enters at the finish. While it's not as complex or as overtly peaty as its siblings, it still manages impressive flavour and poise for a newcomer. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
