Sometimes the planets align and i get the opportunity to try some epic, legendary whiskies which are mostly rare to find. Thisnis the case of the 2020 Islay Jazz expression from Lagavulin, the 22 year old one. A "Laga" with that age statemente makes me a lot more demanding. I cannot expect a simple or an average dram. This must be exceptional to fill my expectations. Bottled at 52.6%abv, there were only 2004 bottles ever made. On the nose, i was immidiately thought: wow, oranges with peat!. Cigarrette, ashtray. Tangerine peel. Lotion. Amazing aroma, astringent. Perfect score. On the palate, it starts a little watery, then it becomes a bomb of flavor, made of vanilla, herbal notes, spices, peat, smoke. It has an atomic aftertaste. It feels like a wrap of herbal, smoke and orange notes. Incredible Overall, it accomplished its mission. This one was perfect. One of the most amazing Lagavulins i have ever tasted, and i have tasted a lot of spectacular ones. Complex, powerful, tasty, peaty, fruity, everything is here. There is no way i can deduct points from this, it wouldn't be fair for a great product. My score for it is 100 over 100.
