Nose: Sweeter nose than the regular Lagavulins . Sherry sweet effect is less intense than the 16 DE however and fruitier by far : Tangerines, peaches. Let’s not forget the ash and the lovely Smokey burnt sugar. I like this nose a lot. Like a Lagavulin perfume. Peat and then fruits to complement.

Mouth : Starts on peaty sweet coals, oily textured. Sweeter on impact then drying and getting more ashy tarry and sooty, more ashtray notes. Some prunes and dates syrup and vanilla as well. Water brings out more strongly the Smokey elements, which is nice. I do prefer this one neat.

Finish : Long - Smoke , tar, and leather saddle ending on bitter prunes dipped in 85% dark chocolate and espresso mix.

Hi Galg, the whisky on photo is the Distillers edition, not the Distillery only edition. Grtz, Lagavuleo
