Lagavulin 1995 Pedro Ximénez Finish - Distillers Edition

Even better than DE1994.

This is a must have bottle! Really great. Better than DE 93 and DE 94!

This is serious stuff and well worth the money, if not more. I'm not a fan of the regular version, this one really has something quite special.

I tried this at Leeds Whisky festival recently and had to buy a bottle. This was easily my favourite out of the 30-something whiskies I tried that night! Thoroughly recommended.

Nose: Sweet peat, and smoke. Malty tar and liquorish. Nice… Taste: Sweet, tarry peat. Sweet liquorice and spice. Long finish. This is a great dram, but the regular Lagavulin 16 year old is just as good, and cheaper… so I just don’t see the point with the distillers edition.

I frequent the 16 year old, so I thought I'd try this one. Let me put it this way.... It's an olympic photo finish. So when I say it beats the 16 year old it by a hair – there is a lot happening in the space of a hair. Plainly put, It's darker, it has more smoke and peat and a spicy finish that appears minutes later.

The most delightfull whisky I have ever tasted.

I visited the Lagavulin Distillery & my Son & me are huge fans of it for years!!

Don't get me wrong...This is very good. However, I would place it 4th behind Laphroaig18, Lagavulin16, and Lagavulin12 Special Edition. It is not as smooth as the 16, not a smokey as Laphroaig, and cant come near the Special Edition in any way. It does have LOTS of good flavor but seems to lack the refinement of the other 3. Should you buy it? Yes, of course, if you want variety or enjoy trying new and delicious scotches.

The Lagavulin DE95 is without a doubt my favorite whisky. The mellow complexity of this dark and smoky treat, which modulates into crisp notes of citrus and white grape, leaves a delightful finish of toasted almond and chocolate on the palate, like an old friend who lingers a moment after the party has left for a deep and meaningful goodbye.
