Lagavulin-12 year old-1970s
Bottled early 1970's. Distilled and Bottled by White Horse Distiller Ltd., Glasgow & London.
Good labelling with lightly stained main and stained nick label. Level: into neck.
"...Mouth: but yes! Exceptionally tarry and peaty, smooth and sweet but firm, salty, resinous, leathery, coastal... Especially the notes of bitter oranges are exceptional here. But beware of maltoporn, better stop now. Finish: no comments. Comments: to be honest, this one seems to be a tad sweeter than other versions on the palate but it's just as magnificent globally. Imagine they were struggling to sell it forty years ago!" (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
