Words of Whisky (87)

:

Nose: Waxy, sweet and fruity, mainly apricots and peach with some bitter lemon peel thrown in. Some salty sea spray and vanilla too, accompanied by soft and gentle peat smoke and a nice minerality. Finally a tinge of menthol and tobacco. Really good!
Taste: Quite intense yet restrained, if that makes sense. A peppery arrival that goes hand in hand with subtle peat smoke, sauerkraut, and porridge. Somewhat briny too, as well as green olives and charred lemon.
Finish: Lingering vegetal peat, banana and herbs. Long.

Good, crisp Lagavulin with a decent complexity and plenty of richness.
