Lagg New Make Peated Spirit Drink, 20cl Bottle, 63.5% ABV

The Lagg New Make Peated Spirit Drink is a unique, unaged spirit produced at the Lagg distillery on the Isle of Arran. It offers whisky enthusiasts a rare opportunity to sample the character of the distillery's spirit before it undergoes maturation in casks. This clear spirit is bottled directly at cask strength, providing an authentic and undiluted taste of the distillery's peated production style. It serves as a fascinating preview of the flavour profile that may develop in Lagg's future single malt whisky releases. This spirit is notable for its high alcohol by volume of 63.5% and is presented in a 20cl bottle. The production involves peated malt, which imparts distinctive smoky characteristics. Tasting notes describe a complex profile beginning with fresh pear and crisp, clean aromas, complemented by an undertone of sweet peated malt. On the palate, it delivers light fruit and sweet heather notes balanced with a pronounced hot chilli spiciness, accompanied by undertones of rice pudding and rich campfire smoke. This product is ideally suited for whisky connoisseurs, collectors, and those interested in the whisky-making process who wish to explore the foundational flavours of a new distillery's output. It provides an educational tasting experience, allowing one to appreciate how the raw spirit's character might evolve with wood influence over time. It's best enjoyed neat or with a small drop of water to open up the complex flavours, making it a compelling addition to any spirits exploration.
