Lagavulin Distillery Exclusive 2018

Brace yourselves, a perfect whisky is coming. It seems that Lagavulin, back in 2018, which i believe is a great year for that distillery, released a distillery exclusive single malt, double matured, in a first fill and a re-charred oak cask.  It was bottled at 53.5%abv which is a nice strength and sold for about 110 pounds in the shop. Little did they knew, that this humble servant was going to try it, decode it into wonderful notes and write this proud review. And as i said before, fasten your seat belts, this is a perfect whisky. On the nose, peat and sweet. Caramel and chocolate; milk and coffee. Ashes, gooseberries. Medicinal notes, but also coconut. Incredible aroma. The white oak can be felt here and is doing a great mixture with the peatiness. On the palate, oh my friends, this is delicious. Vanilla, coconut, pepper and sulphuric notes. Powerfully and elegantly spicy: Chilli and wasabi. Fantastic. Aftertaste is simple, but perfect. It just has three notes; very important, clean notes that are so rewarding that you feel absolutely happy: Smoke, pepper and vanilla. Overall, i can say this one is not too hard to find, i believe it is always present in some auctions and specialized whisky retailers websites. You have to grab one. Or two. Or three. Maybe all you can. Great whisky, it will be on my top ten this year. My score is 100 over 100
