    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Inspired by the Lagavulin history spanning two hundred years, and exploring ancient Mesoamerican art of tattoo, this expression of Lagavulin bursts with distillery character. Finished in Don Julio Añejo tequila casks, the unique expression brings indelible layers of bright herbal smoke and dark plum fruit.

    Refill American Oak, finished in Don Julio Anejo Tequila casks.

    Character

    The immediate aromas are slightly more medicinal than smoky, showing hints of carbolic soap and soothing rub that soon mingle with aromatic wood smoke from a driftwood bonfire on the beach. As the intense, herbal smoke takes over, a savoury note drifts through it, suggesting barbecued pork. A drop of water reduces the intensity yet adds more maritime and darkly fruity notes, making the smokiness yet more aromatic.
