Lagavulin Offerman Edition Charred Oak Cask

This tasting is from an ounce or two neat. Nose is briney and smoky with an undeniable caramel aroma hiding in there. Initial taste is a bracing Islay… smoke, peat, and a pleasant burn. Once your tongue adjusts this one shines. Mixture of burnt sugars, dark caramel, and the smoke from making caramel. Delicious. Im really enjoying the layers of caramel, burnt butter, and smoke that waft through the long finish.

Harsh, salty. Not great.

Prett good, but it’s got a harshness that makes me prefer regular Lagavulin.
