Smoke rather than peat on the nose. Bit of salt, but mostly smoke and sherried sweetness. Sherried fruit on the palate with developing taste of tanin, smoke, oak and salt. Very well-rounded with layers of different flavours. Long finish with lasting sweetness. Great scotch, shame it’s gotten so expensive (though still not like Japanese brands).
Great service! Delivered promptly and well packaged. Loved the flat packed box too ?
Lagavulin was the first Islay I ever tried so it has a soft spot in my heart. The intensity of smoke was another level. This was the first bottle I bought the day lockdown was announced. I recently purchased another bottle expecting that same feeling but was disappointed. The intensity of smoke has gone, it tastes rougher and less refined. To make matters worse the price point is now obscene. I have a new favourite now the Laphropoig 10 year old Sherry Cask. Head and shoulder above Lagavulin
I read the reviews, and the tasting notes, and felt this was a good fit for me, but the smokeyness is overpowering in my opinion, it drowns out any other flavours. I will continue with Balvenie Caribbean Cask, which, to me, is a well balanced whiskey.
Best one I have had from them, its very smooth. Not a harsh peaty taste but very subtle. A simple blend of flavours.
