Tasting Notes
Nose
Dry, with an immediate, overpowering smokiness that eclipses Lagavulin’s usual profile; charcoal and fragrant peat blaze to the fore, backed by a clean, fresh base-note of sea air and mineral scents. Even with a splash of water, the aroma remains essentially unaltered.
Palate
The smooth lightly oily texture shines with sweet richness; the taste is sweet to start, then takes off with a soaring lemony acidity and a sprinkling of sea salt to add freshness. Mid-palate the fire dries the taste, which flies still higher now in its salty-smoky intensity. A dash of water rounds and sweetens but it’s the smoke that dominates.
Finish
Long, with great waves of peat-smoke, and new- fired heights of spiced and smoky intensity that last wonderfully in the aftertaste.
