“By the way, have you ever tried drizzling pistachio ice cream with a fresh, unadulterated peated whisky like this? Do give it a go and report back. Dont take my word for it, but this does lean quite Lagavulin-esque. Exceptional and an absolute session killer. But we press on” – Serge, Whisky Fun (90 Points)

” If it sounds like Laga, tastes like Laga and moves like LagaThough it really does not like water, this is the best of the bunch for me. Its intense, grippy, and a prime example of what Lagavulin should always be: a pure Ileach.”– Dramface

“Maybe its Lagavulin, maybe it isnt, it doesnt really matter. Its definitely 15 years of age and its definitely produced in Islay. Its bottled at 54.8% and consists of whisky matured in bourbon hogsheads. The pale colour suggests a light touch from the casks, no doubt mostly refill bourbon but thats helped the whisky retain its peat fire character after 15 years. In fact, the dram feels like a great demonstration of allowing the spirit to breathe. All that nonsense about casks providing 80% of a whiskys flavour goes out the window when you taste a dram like this. The flavour comes from the spirit. It comes from the barley, from the peat, from the fermentation process, from the shape of the stills it comes from Islay and Ill never tire of that. Great stuff.” – A Scot on Scotch

“Smokey and sweet headlines with a bit of salinity. I have heard a rumour this is lagavulin again, if so its cheaper than anything youll get of this age from the distillery. Fans of islay bourbon cask whisky should be on to this!” – Jamie_r87 /r/Scotch
