Lagavulin 12 Year Old bottled 2012 12th Release

Here is the full review: thewhiskykirk.com/2014/08/…

Pretty crazy tasting notes. Had you puffed a bit of old Olorin's pipe-weed between sips?

I like it.

Dude, I really like this whisky. No, I wasn't high on any drug other than the Lag. It delivers the goods.

I'm a JRR Tolkien fan. Love his work. As a kid, I fantasized about visiting Middle Earth.

As an adult, I fantasize that Tolkien might have been privy to some covert historical information about a previous technological age, which, by today's standards, would still seem like magic.

As A. Clarke says, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Then again, Clarke, like Tolkien, might have possessed knowledge about hidden history and covert technologies that the rest of us do not know about.

HG Wells wrote two nonfiction books of merit (on the same subject). The first was called The Open Conspiracy and the second was called The New World Order. Gotta love it. Thanks for your comments, OIJas. Party on. And if you can get your hands on the 2012 Lag DE, do it.

The distiller's edition was the first lagavulin that I tried and I absolutely adored it. But it has become hard to find a bottle of it these days

The 2012 is a charmer. I also have a bottle of the 2013. I don't think it's supposed to be as good. I'm really loving the 2012. It's a little on the gentle side, but the depth and range of flavors is just fantastic, as I've said. I can give up some ABV for complexity like this any time

This bottle just keeps getting better. I'm truly blown away.

Lovely review!
