Yeah I'm really not a fan of the direction away from the rich, oily full-bodied 16 yr expression. However saying that the rest which do take that path are still pretty good quality. This however is a shadow of even the 11yr Nick Offerman and 8 yr. Its rounded to the point of zero identifiable flavor characteristics or identity. My least favorite Lagavullin ever...Avoid.
Among the distillery's finest festival releases. It exhibits a rich and pleasing equilibrium between abundant fruit and the characteristic smoke.
Potent and warming. Music begins as it goes down the throat. However, not ideal for extended conversation.
I'm enjoying this
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
