Lagavulin 8 Year

90 proof. $54.99. 100% malted barley. Caramel apple, oranges, peanut butter, peat, chocolate, lemon, roasted bananas, buttered corn, cherries, cinnamon, vanilla, apricots, sugar cookies, oily, grapes, charred oak, salted peanuts.

Peated with resemblance of campfire/coal. Some sweetness. Floral hints. Overpriced.

Smells sweet, like toffee or pudding, which was unexpected. Flavor is the same sweetness, mild and medium rich. Tail is long despite the thinner body, and thats where the peat is. Low smouldering tail lasts quite a while, very enjoyable. One of those whiskeys that hits gently the crescendos, love the flavor balance.
