The launch of Diageo's annual Special Releases is one of the most eagerly-awaited dates in the whisky calender, with enthusiasts and collectors around the world working themselves into a right old froth over their yearly fix of official Port Ellens, Broras and whatever other treasures have been excavated from the company's mind-boggling stock of maturing casks.

This year we have some very special treats, with Lagavulin 21 year old getting a second release five years after its acclaimed first appearance in 2007, and a 32 year old Port Ellen - both of which we don't expect to be around for very long.  There's also two very special 35 year olds from Talisker and Brora - the oldest official expressions ever released by these distilleries.  All this plus the latest versions of cask strength Lagavulin 12yo and unpeated Caol Ila, plus gems from Dalwhinnie and Auchroisk - this years Special Releases from Diageo are likely, once again, to be the most talked-about whiskies of the year.

Lagavulin 12 Year Old / Bot.2012 / 12th Release
70cl / 56.1%
The 12th release of 12 year old Lagavulin from Diageo's Special Releases range. A perennial favourite, balancing price against a punchy cask strength edition of whisky from one of Islay's most mysterious distilleries.
£69.45 Inc. VAT
(£57.88 Ex. VAT)
Caol Ila 14 Year Old / Unpeated / Sherry Cask
70cl / 59.3%
The latest incarnation of the yearly cask strength 'unpeated' Caol Ila produced as part of Diageo's Special Releases selection. This time it's been aged for 14 years in ex-sherry casks, filled in 1997. There's not a lot of sherried Caol Ila out there and this might be our pick of this year's range.

70cl / 52.1%
