Lagavulin 12 Year Old bottled 2010 10th Release

this is the bottle I have. I got to try the 2011 (I think) and 2014 thanks to @talexander but I haven't made it to my bottle yet.

Yes, there is a lot to love with 2010 release Lagavulin 12, though there are probably not many bottles of the 2010 release floating around unsold at this point. 2010 Lag 12 would make a great desert island choice.

@victor that makes me all the more happy that I have it, given how much I liked the 2011 offering.

The 2010 was quite good, and the 2011 excellent. The recent 2014 I also find excellent, slightly better than the 2013. I am about to finish my second bottle of 2014 with another stashed back. Probably should grab two more!

Survey question for the class, which I'll toss out here just 'cause it's the most current Lag 12 review:

How much would you pay for Lag 12 2012?

There's one gathering dust on the shelf of a local grocery store—not a liquor store or anything, just small-town grocer with an otherwise uninspiring whisky selection. It's tagged $109 and I've been thinking of offering the liquor dept manager $80 to take of off his hands.

Any opinions? I had the 2014 and liked it mucho, but not $109 mucho. I understand that the 2012 is near the bottom of most Lag 12 fans' lists—but even so, isn't that like your least-favorite kid? You still love him, right?

recently my local (rural) store had 3 bottles on offer at £50 each but as you can imagine they didn't last long. if you can pick one up for $80 you won't regret it.
