Details
The Islay representative in the 'Classic Malts' series is a deep, dry and exceptionally peaty bruiser. Probably the most pungent of all Islay malts, Lagavulin is not for the faint-hearted but inspires fanatical devotion in its many follower
Tasting Notes
 |
NOSE Intensely concentrated flavor, massive peat smoke with ultra-intense iodine. The fruity-sherry notes, vanilla and Lapsang Souchong. |
 |
PALATE A rich, dried fruit sweetness of the sherry character with clouds of smoke and strong, barley-malt flavors. At the back of the mouth is an explosion of salty and peppery smoke. |
 |
FINISH Huge, long, warming and peppery with a distinct appetizing sweetness. |
 |
OVERALL A little spice lightens the grip of the peat and vanilla. Water brings out Indian spices. |
