This and the Talisker GoT were the only ones I was personally interested in having. This is simply a classic Lagavulin. If you enjoyed the 8 yr old, it’s similar. Smoky embers on the onset, strong vanilla backbone (which I’m a bit surprised at...didn’t see that coming), and burnt ashes. Considering how smoky this is, I would’ve thought it would’ve been Daenerys’ Taragarean dragons. Either way, so much better than that piss poor JW White Walker. This was good enough for me to buy a bottle after trying the free sample. Even if it had nothing to do with GoT, I’d still have bought it. For $65, it’s worth it.

@PBMichiganWolverine you were not kidding on the vanilla and ash. $65 is great bang for buck.
@PBMichiganWolverine Deal! :-)
@AntonioSchmid I bought 2 @ $65. If you’re ever in NYC /NJ, let me know—-I’d be glad to share a few pours
@AntonioSchmid - well, that store does advertise worldwide shipping. I’m not sure how much shipping to Brazil would add, but the $70 is a great starting point I think. You still might want to check out that store...lol
@LeeEvolved I just came back from the US and am just a little afraid that I won’t be able to find it when I return there next year. :-( Can’t find anything good for a reasonable price here in Brazil (if I can find it at all...) That’s why I buy 99% of my whiskies when I travel abroad. Luckily I’m able to travel a lot. ;-)
@LeeEvolved
@AntonioSchmid @Scott_E @PBMichiganWolverine - there’s a store in Piermont, NY advertising it for $70. They also claim to be able to ship to all but 4 states: AL, KY, MS and UT Forwhiskeylovers.com
By the way—-I’m going back to Hartford next Thursday. @Scott_E let me know if you want me to pick you up a bottle
@Scott_E no—-actually in Connecticut. Westport—international wines. I was driving back yesterday from Hartford.
@PBMichiganWolverine Definitely interested in this too. The strategy of releasing one per month makes marketing sense. Did you find this in Manhattan/city area?
@PBMichiganWolverine nice idea but I think they’re all out in time for someone to give me one for every day of Hanukkah
@Richard-ModernDrinking I thought they were taking one out per month till the show starts up again? Not sure if I read it somewhere or that I said it so often to myself that I thought it’s true...
@PBMichiganWolverine Fast work! I have a group swap lined up for a sample of every bottle, so will report back on the others!
@AntonioSchmid I think it’s just starting to come out this week. Watch for prices though...I saw one retailer carrying it for $110. Not worth it.
MUST HAVE IT!
