Lagavulin 16 yo
Official bottling
Single malt - Islay
Amber gold
43% ABV
Mini
Nose: Smoke, peat, heather honey, salt, iodine, hint of apricots.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, oily, watery around the edges.
Tasting: Salty sour. Intense smoke, intense peat, lemon, hints of sherry, hints of vanilla.
Finish: Long. Sherry, vanilla, fades to smoke.
Comments:
Lovely smoke. I can taste a glimmer of Port Ellen in this (without the fish of course), but it stands on its own feet. Sweet fruity notes in the taste and finish add to the fun. Great, great flagship bottling. The Scandinavians like this, and so do I.
Verdict:
I like this.
