  Always like Lagavulin distinctive notes of smokey, toast, charr wood, nutty.

  Pours amber with intense aromatics of smoked peat, campho, toffee, shoe leather, caramelized apricot puree and smashed pecan. Silky on the tongue with a nice smoky lingering finish with a touch of spicy ginger. A delicate beast of a dram.

  The original smoke powerhouse
  Still the most visceral response I've ever had to any spirit--the big campfire and bacon nose grabbed me right away and instantly convinced me 20+ years ago that I not only loved scotch, but had found one I could instantly cite if anyone asked whether I had a particular favorite. It's probably still my all-time favorite whisky. The smoke hits from arm's length, if not from across the room. The alcohol is quite subdued in comparison to other smoke-bomb whiskies, though it warms you within seconds after a sip. I wish I could always have this on my bar, but I'm too tempted to drink it all the time, and the price is just beyond reach for an everyday drinker.

  Delicious! Plenty of flavor without a strong alcohol kick.
