I can't help being very impressed with this bottle. It looks like it's a hundred years old with the washed out colours, old style text. Even the top, oblong, part of the label is reminiscent of a nautical window.
The nose doesn't begin to hint at the smoke to come. Mostly I just smell alcohol. The taste is quite dry and a bit salty, but it's the nose that has the huge smoke kick in it. But it's not over the top; it's weighty, but it's right.
Find where to buy Lagavulin whisky
One thing that I find pretty consistent is the number of folks here enjoying this fine dram.
It arguably sets the standard for smokey/peated single malts.
Glad you enjoyed it as well.
