Lagavulin 9 Year (Game of Thrones-House Lannister)

★★★★½ Lagavulin for the win! Le dernier et non le moindre! On finit cette sublime soirée en beauté avec ce whisky Lagavulin 9 ans. C'est la deuxième fois que je déguste ce scotch et, encore une fois, sa puissante saveur tourbé réchauffe notre corps déjà en ébullition. On aime!

Nose: despite the young age, peat is not so upfront. Dried fruits, butterscotch, some hints of banana and citrus peel. Palate: Smoke, peat and brine at first, which last for the whole time spent in the mouth. Vanilla, caramel and citrus peel just after. Finish: medium lasting sweet finish. VERY long lasting smoke. Worth it? I'd say yes. A different take on Lagavulin. Does not reach the complexity of the 16 YO, but is pretty balanced. Much sweeter.
