Lagavulin 8 Year

Color: very light and pilsner in complexion Nasal:oaky boozy and lemony peety,pine, herby rosemary Taste straight:iodine and oak Cut :iodine, smoke, oak

Very pale appearance. The signature salty smoked meat aroma. Spiced fruit and oily palate. Smoke isn't heavy but it's peppered throughout. Some sweet butter cookies as well. A lot of soot on the finish. The dry smoke lasts for quite a while. It's definitely Lagavulin but seems a bit lopsided. Makes you understand why the 16yr is their flagship expression.
