The nose is very distinctive and can be smelled from across a room, full of peat smoke and brine and a winey sort of Cognac. It's that deep, rich iodine note that sets Lagavulin apart from its southern Islay neighbors, and really from all other single malts I've tried. It's obnoxiously trendy to make fun of Lagavulin right now thanks to the Nick Offerman commercial, but I don't care how green I might seem by adoring this whisky, I really do find it special. 93/100
