Lagavulin 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml (Special Release 2022) was matured in and blended from a mix of refill and virgin oak casks; both American oak.

The nose is delightfully clean and unadulterated…a classic Islay nose that exudes peat and smoke. It’s very earthy, yet complemented with hints of citrus, orange rind and vanilla. The palate cranks things up a gear, with the heavily peated malt bringing a smoky dryness to proceedings, yet maintaining superb balance and sweetness.

    Do you sell this with more malts?

  • bargain!!!

  • +4

    I have missed every single Diageo special release deal posted here. Thanks OP, grabbed a couple. Keen to compare them to my 2012-2014 bottles.

    $99 for a Laga 12 is cheaper than 2012 pricing

    • +1

      I've been missing them all too but I managed to snag this one! (Right before it went OOS so hopefully I don't get notified that my orders been cancelled)

      I did pick up the $70 ardbeg 10 though which has been quite delicious

    • what makes them special

      • +1

        Cask strength and it's Diageo yearly limited release. Also occasionally finished in diff cask types, last year was tequila, but mostly American oak and no sherry like the 16. There was also Nick Offerman one this year finshed in rum, but not cask strength.

        I haven't bought any for 10 years because I have a stash of older bottlings which cost about $150.

  • Great whisky, great deal. If I didn't already have a bottle on the shelf I'd buy instantly.

    • +2

      drink the one on your shelf and replace it with this one

      • I have a 2021 bottle waiting for after this one lol.

        • +1

          Drink everything

  • Yay finally caught one of these deals

  • What a bargain, thanks for sharing!

  • Grabbed one, thanks!

  • Thanks OP. Get two for the Xmas and NY :*

  • Got one thanks OP~~ Missed out on several previous whisky deals so didnt hesitate on this onw

  • Thanks OP, got one.

  • Awesome, missed all other recent deals. Got 3. One for tasting and 2 for the Shelf!!!

    • Just bought a fourth, to be safe.
      Not sure about all the Out of stock comments, went through fine, just one day later delivery than first purchasr.

      • showing OOS for me…! Good get!

      • wym to be safe ?
        and why shelving 2

  • Already out of stock not even 20 minutes after the post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Not out of stock from what I can see.just bought two bottles

      • What price?

    • Still showing stock for me

  • +1

    Finally got one of these deals. Lagavulin (16) is my favourite tipple. Got two. Thanks

    • its 149 the 16

    • is 16 worths the $$$ compared to 12? that is about($50) 1/3 more expensive.

      The daily drinker at 90-100 range:

      1. laphroaig 10 sherry oak (as low as 98 last week)
      2. red breast 12
      3. highland park 12
      4. The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old
      5. talisker 10
      6. Glendronach Original 12 (94.99 at nicks)
      • +3

        They are quite different. Laga 16 is only 43% ABV, this is 57.3% (cask strength). The 12 is usually aged in different casks too (changes each release).

        The 16 is excellent and I stock up when its on special. I got a few bottles in July when it was $109.75 at Dan's. Still have a few bottles at the back of the cupboard I paid sub-$90 but those days are long gone.

  • Yet another thing that is "out of stock" and "can't be delivered" to my address. Stupid semi-rural living.

  • got 2, still in stock!

  • got 1. Thanks OP

  • Thanks OP, got one also!

  • I’m surprised Amazon is still processing orders.

    I recon there will be cancellation emails.

    • Credit card shows money taken.

      ETA tomorrow.

      Fingers crossed.

      • Email advising delay in shipping.

        Still not confident it will be fulfilled.

        Toes now crossed.

  • Thanks! Got one!

  • +2

    Don't forget Amazon has $10 promo credit when you buy $200 gift cards which could be used for 2 x bottles ;)

  • Says temporarily out of stock for me :(

  • Out of stock

  • +1

    Don't buy if you don't like peated obviously. If you do though, it's one of the best peated whiskies I've tried. Have ordered 7 bottles of this the last few weeks.

    • +1

      WTF is peated ? smokey ?

      • +1

        Glorious smoke of the gods

        • Only those gods that smoked peat

      • +3

        Peat (wet stuff dug out of boggy land that takes at least 60,000 years to turn into coal) is dried and burned, to dry out the malted barley used to make whisky. The flavour of the smoke ends up in the whisky. Peat fires were once the main source of heating in Scotland, so historically it was the natural thing to use to dry the barley.

    • I assume these have been on clearance due to the Laga distribution change thing. What prices have you seen this one going for?

      Happy to have snagged one here for $99

      • +2

        I got them all at $99 from here. It's the 2022 special release so not sure if clearing out stock for the new ones or some other reason but they taste great to me!

    • Now I wish I had bought 7. I wasn't sure how it would be, so I just risked getting two.

      • It tastes better than the 16 yo by a few miles in term of flavour

        • wow that's something

  • bugger, oos………

    • +1

      Restocked again

  • OOS now. Thanks OP, I managed to place an order

  • Thanks op..snagged one

  • +2

    Thanks OP! Bought 2 for my husband + gift, very excited to try it. OOS now

  • Dang … missed it …

  • +1

    I managed to grab one just now.

    Big thanks OP as well as the person who cancelled their order :)

  • Missed.. I wanted this

  • YES I got one just after posted! - Ive missed so many of these posts!!

  • Nooooooooooo! I missed out!

  • +1

    Dam it

  • Thanks OP. Have been wanting a 16 but this is $50 cheaper and might be just as nice.

    • +2

      I really enjoy the 16 but drinking them side by side I'd choose this. The extra strength brings in so much more flavour.

      • Thanks for sharing @thestig. Just tried it today (neat) after some chores. First thing I noticed was it was spicier or more peppery before the smokiness hit. Will see how it goes in a social setting with music and friends to share with.

        • +1

          If you're not used to drinking cask strength add a teaspoon or so of water. Just play around with it and you'll find different flavours in there and it will dial back the spiciness. I love the heat of neat cask strengths but do add water from time to time depending on my mood to explore different flavours that appear.

  • This is also a cracking deal https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0C9RKV7G8 at 32% off. Currently 224.99 at Dan's

    • Yeah I mentioned above.
      It’s a good deal and a price match of nicks.
      Not an ATL but a good deal nonetheless

    • +1

      Can't justify paying that when it was $109.75 at Dan's in July.

    • +2

      $150 is closer to where Laga16 should be, though still too high imo. It has become WAAAY overpriced and in no way is it worth $225.

  • I enjoyed this one a lot.
    Be generous with water, this handles water so well.

  • man I missed it again!

  • back in stock now

  • Ron Swanson approves.

    • Thanks. Finally got one this time

  • is the clearance bundle any good ?

  • Any reviews from people that have bought 2022? I've tried the 2021, but deliberating if it's better for me to use the money to buy something new I haven't tried. Reviews seem to suggest it isn't as good as previous releases.

  • This might be a stupid question especially for a bottle in this price range, but does anyone see this as a potential investment? Given the desirability and demand for this specific drop, does anyone see this specific bottle to increase in value like the Hibiki 12 or thereabouts?

    or should we just say YOLO and drink the thing.

    • +1

      Drink as its a yearly mass produced bottle.

      The older releases with the traditional packaging has gone up a little but that's about it.

    • Whisky is for drinking, not speculating. YOLO that mofo.

  • yesterday
    Delivery attempted with your Amazon package.

    Unfortunately, we ran into an issue when attempting your delivery. We will try again.

    they cannot leave alc unattended ?

    • No they aren't legally allowed to leave alcohol at your property without you being there yet recently they did leave 2 bottles of the Dailuaine 16 whisky unattended for me on two seperate days.

      • welp, thats fair iguess

      • Thanks for the heads-up. Hopefully someone will be around when mine comes tomorrow.

        I also hope that it's packed a bit more safely than everything else I've gotten from Amazon over the past few years.

        • Expect it to come with very little padding, my whiskey tin (not this one) came dented and tin’s lid was wide open.
