Lagavulin Distillers Edition

Like 16 but less peat and more sherry

2017. Batch 506. Sweet peat returns to my cabinet. One of my favorite spirits, and this bottling is my favorite so far. Has all the hallmarks of a 506 with more sweet notes than peat/smoke. That doesn't mean this whisky is not a Lagavulin, though. It still has plenty of tobacco and smoke, but it plays second fiddle to the sweetness from the sherry finish. Speaking of the finish I found it to be quite enjoyable, though it could be a bit longer. Excellent dram to close the evening. Negatives? Like the 16 it's chill-filtered and has added coloring...boooo! Anyway, it doesn't detract from my enthusiasm 93/100.
