Lagavulin 16 Year

Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Campfire, salt, wet sand. Classic Islay notes. Palate: Salty bread notes with a good amount of spice. Finish: Medium heat that goes on and on. Splash: A bit of oak appears with a few drops of water. Overall: 9/10 - This is a classic Islay that I could probably pick out in a blind tasting. The finish is remarkable for the low proof, and the oak only appears with a little coaxing. I've had this bottle for a long time and just realized that I had never written a review. There's a reason that everyone knows the name Lagavulin, even those who don't like Islays.

Nose: Peaty smoke, camel, vanilla Taste: Quick burst of sweet carmel and vanilla followed by peaty smoke Finish: Peaty Smoke, wood follow by woody pepper finish Overall good flavorful Scotch. But if you dont like the peat flavor, definitely stay away.
