Comments:
Mmm, oily, intensely flavoured, almost Caol Ila-esque in its savouriness. That's just on the nose though, on the tongue it becomes more like Lagavulin, leathery, citrusy tart, with lots of vanilla. I can't believe it's taken so long for me to have another Lagavulin. According to the tasting notes, it's been nearly 6 years!
Verdict:
I like this a lot.
