For me, Lagavulin Distillers Edition is a slightly improved and nuanced version over Lagavulin 16. Both are quintessential Islay Scotch whiskeys. It is very flavorful with a nose of dark, sweet fruits, sea salt and iodine. The finish is warm and comforting. There are other more complex and richer Scotch whiskys but there is nothing to not like about this offering.
