Lagavulin Distillers Edition

This is an exceptional whisky that I enjoy drinking almost as much as tasting it. I’d been down on the Lag 16 over the past 5-10 years, feeling like it degraded in quality. The extra maturation in the Px casks really allows the base 16 to thrive. The smoke is there, as is the salt and iodine but it’s mellow and layered with the fruits and sugars of the extra Px cask contact.

Sweet smoke and salt. Followed by juicy plum and candied dates. The finish has dried fruit and campfire ash. This is an excellent mix of fruit and smoke.
