Hah! @LeeEvolved paid it forward with this dram, and it was better than expected! On the nose you get some faint red apples, cinnamon, and a touch of smoke. It’s a similar palate, goes down smooth as silk. I am sure it’s from help of the 40% ABV. Anyway, faint short finish, but still tasty. With the price point, you can’t go wrong either. 3.0. The theme of this dram has to be a 70s disco number. I am thinking “Heart of Glass” by Blondie.

@Telex. You got some cahones to post this review...i got a whole new level of respect for you
Boy, these guys are really getting out of hand fast
@Soba45 - I’ve always thought it would be hilarious if Nick Offerman would create and use an account on here. He, and his Parks & Rec character, actually loves Lagavulin so if he were to start reviewing or commenting on here it would be so epic.
@Soba45 - It has to be multiple people because they respond to each other so quickly I don’t think there’s time for it to be just one individual. Plus, how can you have more than one Distiller ID? Either way, it’s hilarious- especially if you’re a fan of the Anchorman or Will Ferrell movies. It’s just as good as @mikael’s April Fools Day gag.
@leeevolved. I was thinking the same. Is it actually multiple people or multiple personas and one actual person...amazingly synchronized :-)
Holy hell. Here they go again! This has to be the best ongoing comedy routine on any whisky-based website. The fact @Telex got called by so many different names, except the right one, is hilarious. I think more people need to drink this stuff and post reviews just so we can see what happens each time.
I know. wh-wha-wha- WHAMMMY!
Yeah, but she always smelled like that, @Champ_Kind
@Wes-Mantooth - oh, she got compensated alright, whammy. Did she smell like a mixture of Old Bay, A1 Steak Sauce and Hai Karate?
@Champ_Kind - you did NOT take my mom home after that fateful day at Disneyland! She sent me to the park’s day care and said she had to meet with a park official about some compensation for the accident. She came back and got me that evening and said she got taken care of! There was no mention of you. At all.
@RealRonBurgundy - that wasn’t just any grey-haired old lady, that was @Wes-Mantooth mom, Dorothy Mantooth. I picked her up, dusted her off and took her for some steak and seafood, then a little sex. She was fine. She still tries to call me.
@BrickTamland - I think you’re confused, buddy. The Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory was a child’s film. You worked at Disneyland for a season-and-a-half. Don’t you remember why you didn’t make it a full second season? You shoved a grey-haired, grandmother in front of Mickey’s parade float. She almost died.
@Brian_Fantana - I worked at that factory for 2 years. I ran the Chocolate River Boat Ride on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. Then on the weekends I liked to stand at the entrance, wave at people and pretend to be a robot.
@RealRonBurgundy - I had sex with a Chargers cheerleader while we took in a screening of The Boy In The Plastic Bubble. She started crying midway through the sex, I mean movie, because John Travolta was a weepy, little dweeb the whole time. Then another time we went and saw some crazy, science fiction thingy, and she got herself a Close Encounter With My Third Leg- if y’know what I mean. Those aliens at the end were sexy, though. Finally, we saw that Chocolate Factory tour movie 2-3 times, each time those creepy, little orange-faced guys started singing she got to Wonk my Willie. I still get a quarter chub every time I hear “Oompa Loompa Doompady Doooo” Man, I love the cinema.
@tarpon - wait, are you saying you’ve never seen a movie? That’s just sad, my friend. They are wonderful distractions from the turmoil of everyday life. Fantastic sets, handsome male actors and beautiful women telling amazing and well thought-out tales of adventure. I mean, I’m sure the women were originally supposed to be on set to satisfy the carnal desires of the men, and someone had a noble idea to put them IN THE FILM. It was a brave step taken by us humans- much like how we let the amazing, Miss Veronica Corningstone, co-anchor with me on Channel 4. She didn’t really deserve the job, but we had a lot to drink that day and decided to let her live out her other, non-sexual, fantasy- reading the news. But, @tremble- I implore you to visit your local, $2 movie theater and take in a great film. I recommend Cheech & Chong’s Up In Smoke. Those debonair, Mexican gentlemen and their love for marijuana make for frolicking, fun times.
I certainly will! And I know it’s blasphemy to say, but I haven’t seen the movie yet, but isn’t this Veronica you keep talking about played by Christina Applegate? Hot indeed! Lol
Well, @Talon - I hope you do purchase a bottle of this fine, scotch whisky and change your “tune” of 3 stars. You should be lucky you have a friend like @LeeEvolved that would send you a sample of my delicious whisky.
Wow, I cant believe I was just called Tampax. Lol. I laughed so hard I cried at least. :D.
Hey, my paltry three stars are well earned mate. Unless you’re Mickey Heads from Ardbeg, it’s hard to get above 5 here. :). I did enjoy the sample, and I am sure I’ll find a bottle soon, cheers.
True story, @Telex - I once had a 3-way with Blondie and the animated cat from the Paula Abdul video “Opposites Attract”. I was slathering BBQ sauce on that big, ole behind and “WHAMMMY!”, in walked MC Skat Kat. I thought, hey- the more the merrier. Also, @Wes-Mantooth - you’ll never be number one in the ratings. I’ll make sure of that.
Ha! This Tampax guy get it, @RealRonBurgundy - it’s a mediocre bottle of whisky, just like your crappy news broadcasts. I hope every single person that tries this crap gives it less than 3 stars so it’ll ruin the overall score. If only all of these people also watched the Channel 4 Evening News, too. It wouldn’t be long until I was rightfully number one.
@BrickTamland - that sounds horribly, horribly painful. Talk about a prickly predicament! Hey-oh!
@RealRonBurgundy - I prefer to make sweet love on a bed of cactus plants.
So, it was better than expected and you awarded it with a paltry 3 stars? You should’ve expected nothing less than a perfect score of 5 million stars. I don’t understand your process of assigning a song, either, but if you must it would make sense to associate it with “Afternoon Delight” by Starland Vocal Band. This whisky is just as wonderful as making love to a beautiful woman, like Miss Veronica Corningstone, on a bed of fresh plucked rose petals.
