Beautifully smokey nose with delicate floral notes lingering amidst the haze. Campfire smoke and vanilla explode onto the palate with soft wood and spice notes along for the ride. An absolute treat of a scotch and one I'm glad to have picked up. These higher, 92+, proof, non-chill filtered peaty scotches are absolutely superb and Lagavulin 8 is no exception. A winner through and through!
