Firstly thanks to @Timp for providing me with a sample of this whisky. I've had a bottle of the 10 in the past and enjoyed it. So the 15 has been on my 'need to try' list for a while.NoseQuite fragrant…

Sorry, but can anyone explain to me how this can be a 16 years old Lagavulin? Even if this was distilled on the 1st of January 2005 and bottled on the 31st of 2020 – which is not the case, to be absol…
