Lagavulin 10yo Feis Ile 2024

This year's Feis Ile 10 year old Lagavulin edition, is a heavily charred oak expression, bottled at cask strength (56.7%abv), which follows the path of the Offerman Edition No. 3, a very good release from last year. On the nose, it starts with a nice vanilla, peat. Such a fishy, peaty Lagavulin. Fishmarket aroma and acid, citrus fruits. Oysters. The palate is Salty, peaty and fishy. Marvelous flavor. So enjoyable. Aftertaste is where the smoke lies. Spicy pepper, and the classic Lagavulin peat. Bourbon cask influence here. Overall, another lovely expression from the kings of Islay. Of course it is a little rough on the edges, but peat lovers will definitively find this one appealing. 23 points on every criteria for a total score of 92 over 100.
