Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Very smoky with bonfire toffee, cold wood ash, smoked game and treacle.
Palate
This is very tangy and takes me right back to my first visit to the distillery on a freezing cold day with the weather ferociously setting in. Oily and smoky, like a log fire in winter. Hints of cocoa develop.
Finish
Long and oily, ending on signature Lagavulin smokiness, Ovaltine, Cocoa and pear.
Overall
Delicious!
