Tasting Notes

Nose

Immediately fills the space with that iconic and robust Lagavulin Islay nose. Peat smoke with a softening hint of lilac and soft grasses before it comes right back to the warm smoke.

Palate

Charred apple wood, like smelling a smoker as it starts getting going. Just delicate fruit smoke combined with red apples, sea salt, ocean air, char, and oak. There are complex earth tones but brightened by sweet cherries and dark molasses. The finish is just an encore of the nose. The smoke comes back in full force but it’s nuanced on the tongue. You can find the subtle flavors from the palate but through a nice peat smoke. It’s clean and balanced while remaining robust and full bodied.

Finish

An encore of the nose — full-force peat smoke nuanced on the tongue, clean, balanced, and robust.
