Lagavulin 8 Year
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed September 4, 2016 (edited September 4, 2017)Nose reminds me of Uigedail. Pure meat seasoning. Ever had meat with too much seasoning and it burns your tongue? Very salty. As it sits in the glass I start to smell the alcohol, the youngness of the malt. Wood Cabinets. Laphroaig type of peat on the palate. Sweeter. Hotter than Laphroaig, but still smooth. Lemon like sourness. Biting into a lemon and pulling out the pulp. Peat Isnt overwhelming. Charcoal. Nuttiness in there somewhere. Almond syrup? Finish is nice as peat gives way to the sour lemon. -
Highland Park 8 Year The MacPhail's Collection (Gordon & MacPhail)
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed July 29, 2016 (edited September 28, 2017)Vanilla lemon, lemon head candies, moons over madigascar black tea, moist deli ham from the peat. Black tea mouthfeel/sweetness, light, watered down fruit juice, lavender, flowery fruity. Peat shows its face every once in awhile. Blanched peanuts. Salt brine. Hot, but not overly. It smells like a good malt. Notes aside, I can smell quality. -
On the nose there's steak, smoked meat, steak seasoning, sea salt. I'm smelling a steak dinner just off the grill. Smell is wonderful. Meat, meat, meat. Sweetness on the back. With water there's a cheese quality. I could quit here and give the whisky 5 stars. Palate brings out sweetness. Plums, strawberries, and other dark fruits, heavy mouthfeel. Salty. Peat.

Glenmorangie Lasanta Sherry Cask Finish 12 Year
