Lagavulin Distillers Edition

When betting on buying good whisky without evee tasting it before, it doesn't get any safer than picking a Lagavulin. Their whiskies are always amazing and elegant. I have had quite a few of their "Distiller's Editions", and this 1995 expression (16yo, bottled in 2011), is a little less peaty and much more sweet. Bottled at 43% abv On the nose: Fresh oranges, perfumed Peat, a Citric overall aroma. Grapefruit and Chocolate fudge. On the palate, it is a little watery. Chocolate and vanilla. Mild pepper. Meat. Aftertaste is just amazing. The best part. Peat, Salty. Mouth numbing. So pleasant, so refined. Powerful Peat. Ashy and full of Spiciness. Overall this is a great dram. All the sweetness from the aroma and palate dissapears in the aftertaste to show the powerful peatiness from it. Nice experience. 92 over 100.
