The mythical creatures relate to the distilleries based on “the hidden gems that can be found in each corner of the Scottish terrain amongst the lochs and rugged highlands.” The Lion’s Fire is a 12-year-old from Lagavulin. Its powerful flavor is an ode to original Lagavulin leader’s the Mackie’s— James Logan Mackie and Peter “Restless Pete” Mackie.
The Lion’s Fire features a beautiful illustration of a fierce lion amongst the thistle with a mane of flames. Ken Taylor has captured haunting details of this legend with his masterful artwork. Diageo goes a step further with a QR code that unlocks an immersive tasting experience and gives life to Taylor’s illustration.
