Comments:
More briny, smoky goodness from Lagavulin. This one is sour, lots of savoury notes mixed in too. Reminds me of eating a Moroccan tagine, with heaps of preserved lemons in the stew. My only quibble is that it’s a bit underpowered in terms of flavour, especially given the high ABV.
Verdict:
I like this.
