Lagavulin Offerman Edition 11 Year

Not your typical Lagavulin, it’s a bit of a twist on what I’m used to. The Aroma doesn’t have the smoked meat profile and is instead carries a fruitier and sweeter nature; Palate is a tad briny but continues the fruity theme; Finish hits like a smoked dessert.

Nose: Bacon bits, peat smoke, honey, grilled citrus, sourdough bread Palate: Rich. Salted caramel, tobacco, dark chocolate. Medicinal finish

We don’t deserve Nick Offerman.

N - brine, slightly meaty, dark cherry, a bit flowery/potpourri T - earthy peat, dried fruits either raisins or apricot, leather, buttery malt. with water some butterscotch F - classic Lagavulin smoke but with less mint and more pepper. A bit of chocolate lingers. It could be in my head but does taste a little younger from what I recall the 16 tasting like. Also a bit less briskety. Adding a small drop of water turned up the smoke and pepper which wasn’t a bad thing. Overall line from what I’d expect with Lagavulin and the added effect of having Nick Offerman’s face stare back at you is a fun perk.

With baba ganoush and a French blue
