On the nose immediately sherry, sweet white sugar note. That bandaid bbq sauce lagavulin signature smell is still there but suppressed. To be honest I'm not sure if the px works here it seems disjointed. Tastes like lagavulin 16 that's less peated and less green apple. But bandaid medicinal taste still there with really sweet sherry. It's honestly okay, 3/5 because it's also too expensive, if I was to judge on the whisky alone 3.5, I rated the lagavulin 16 a 4. Cheers
