Lagavulin Offerman Edition 11 Year

Smokey for sure but surprisingly sweet...I’m getting burnt caramel followed by vanilla and a bitter (not a bad thing) bite that leaves a lingering peppery experience on the palate. It’s a wild and joyous ride.

Very peaty.

An excellent special release from Lagavulin. A bit of a departure on the nose from the 16 year with smoked meat rather than the typical Lagavulin peat. There’s also a really nice sweetness in the smell. The taste is pretty intense while retaining the classic Lagavulin flavor. Lots of smoke and peat on the palate with a little bit of brine and salt. It has a really nice finish as well that’s surprising smooth for such a smoky whiskey. Overall I think the 16 year old is still a cut above, but I’m glad to have this bottle to enjoy as well.

Peaty and smooth but seems to lose a touch of flavor on the backend.

This is an old forest, dripping in whisky. I walk in it’s grove in pursuit of a dream I’m not sure is real. I’d walk this path again.
