Bottled at a powerful 54.7% ABV and presented in a convenient 50cl format, this distinctive single malt delivers remarkable depth without requiring the investment often associated with heavily peated Scotch.

Aroma: Smoke, Sweetness and Coastal Depth

The first impression is unmistakably smoky, with the aroma of burnt toffee, tobacco smoke and iodine rising from the glass. Beneath the stronger notes, there is a gentle sweetness that adds balance and invites further exploration. The nose is bold but not one-dimensional, making it appealing to those who enjoy whisky with a strong sense of place and plenty to discover.

Palate: Rich, Savoury and Comforting

Take a sip and the whisky opens with honey-roast parsnips, bringing a warm, earthy sweetness. Crispy, smoky bacon follows with a savoury edge, while dried figs add a dark, fruity touch. The generous alcohol strength helps carry these flavours across the palate, creating a rich and lively drinking experience.

As the whisky develops, the smoke becomes deeper and more intense. Notes of bonfire embers and acrid wood smoke create a powerful finish, while the fruit and sweet cask influence prevent the dram from feeling too harsh. Each sip reveals a different balance of smoke, sweetness and savoury flavour.

How to Enjoy This Islay Single Malt

For the fullest flavour, begin by tasting Lp12 neat in a tulip-shaped whisky glass. Allow it a few moments to rest, then take small sips to appreciate the layers of smoke, fruit and spice. A few drops of water can soften the strength and open up additional aromas, making the whisky even easier to explore.

• Serve neat for a bold and concentrated experience.
• Add a small splash of water to reveal softer fruit and sweeter notes.
• Pair with smoked meats, mature cheese, dark chocolate or roasted vegetables.
• Share it during a tasting with friends who appreciate smoky Scotch.
