Lagavulin 8 Year

lagavulin 8 year old 200th spicy cremay apple, sweet fruit, nail polish, tinge of complexity oiliness, quite liek this over the 16YO actually 3.25 smoothering heat, peaty, and you dont get the medicinal of the herbs in a laga, this goes more towards a caol, smooth heat, peps, oily, dry wood, complexity - strangely, after a few days of non stop 16YO drinking, this actually is a nice alternative given the strength and kick it brings 2.75 oaky, wood, high sustain 3 3 2.75 Noticeably lower in nosing compared to other laga series but still get the distinct pungent earthy fumes, high pep, thick complex, 2.5 Flat that gradually increases with more soot and smoke, bitterness and peat, earthy thick oily I think that 8 years is insufficient to bring justice to this laga 2 Low sustain to mid. Smoke and peat 2.25 2.25

Smoky nose, light in the mouth, softer bite than the 16

A light smokey flavour. Not as strong as some of the other Islay Scotch. Very enjoyable!

Feeling: campfire: the good kind. The kind you enjoy, the memories of family and fun. Good times. Nose: fresh and clean, but not light. Smoky but not over powering. Grassy. Briny like sitting on the beach when the waves are pounding. Palate: salt water, fresh and clean, smoky but not aggressive, slight vanilla, finish burnt toast like. A really great scotch, tastes and feels like a much higher priced scotch. Could price it at $70 and would still be worth it. (Please don’t price it at that) a good first peat scotch. Very high quality and has lots of flavor but won’t kill you. Slight numbing of the tongue due to being 48% abv. Get it.
