Is there any such thing as a bad Lagavulin? Granted that statement comes from a biased Lagavulin fan’s point of view. It’s like the beaches on Tahiti—-we were there 20 years ago for my honeymoon...there was no such thing as a bad Tahitian beach. It was either good, or damn good. Same goes for Lag, in my opinion. This is probably the only celebrity spirit I think really suits the celebrity. It’s not a gimmick, but truly fits the personality. When I think of what type of whisky Ron Swanson would enjoy, a Lagavulin comes to mind. So, I’m not getting the Guinness here, which is a good thing...I’m not a fan of it. What I do get are smokey embers, with a taste of chocolate by a campfire. It’s as if you rubbed smoke all over your milk chocolate , sitting by the ocean , over a campfire. I liked this one more so than the first edition, specifically for that chocolate taste. Highly recommended. Thanks to @pkingmartin for the generous pour!
