Lagg Kilmory Incl. Doos

Lagg Kilmory is a(n) whisky from Scotland by the brand Lagg. It falls within the whisky group under the category Single Malt. This whisky comes from the Isle Of Arran region. It is one of the many references you can currently buy online at Drankenshop Broekmans.

If you ask Graham Omand, Lagg's current Distillery manager, what his ultimate goal is with Lagg single malt, he replies on the website that he hopes it will eventually become heritage. And that he is particularly proud to be able to help build that. The foundation stones have indeed been laid for a long history of Lagg whisky, and this expression, the Kilmory, is one of them.

Kilmory, named after the village where the distillery stands, is one of the first two official bottlings released by the distillery on the Isle of Arran, in 2023. It is the edition that gives the purest taste of Lagg's spirit. It was matured entirely in ex-bourbon casks. The base is barley of the Concerto variety, malted to a peat content of 50ppm. Their specific yeast strands and fermentation time create a full, rich flavour and fresh profile. Of course, the peat also does its job as an undertone. This is how Lagg defines the house style, and the ideal dram to discover what they stand for.

On the nose, you get heather, smoke and burnt citrus, a particularly inviting combination. On tasting, you get an initial explosion of fruit of all kinds, which then turns into subtle campfire smoke and a long finish. In that finish, all the previous stuff comes back: citrus, smoke, vanilla. A dram to get warm from on a chilly winter evening, when the sun is about to set.

This whisky is matured in Bourbon Barrel barrels. It is a version of 70 cl and has an alcohol content of 46%.

With a no-age-statement whisky, no age is indicated on the bottle. Often producers choose not to disclose age when an older whisky is supplemented by younger ones. After all, according to the rules, the age must always be the youngest whisky in the blend, which is not desirable when the bulk in the blend is older (and therefore more valuable). Conversely, one can also choose not to mention age, when predominantly young whisky is diluted with a small amount of (very) old whisky. In that case, the product is often marketed at a higher price, and to justify that high(er) price, a choice is made not to mention an age (which would otherwise be the youngest in the blend).

We have compiled a flavour profile for this Lagg Kilmory whisky. Of course, taste is very personal, so these parameters mainly serve as a guide to help you figure out what you like so you can discover new things.

The smoky flavours are quite noticeable, but are not dominant. They help determine the flavour, profile and character of this drink but are less decisive than any strong notes present. There are noticeable floral, briny, spicy, and also fruity hints, but these flavours are subtle. They add extra character and depth to this drink, without really pushing it in any particular direction.

Based on this profile, you can conclude that this whisky has a rather mild character, without any extremes.
