This is a simply beautiful, vibrant distillate driven Lagavulin. Not overly complex but has lovely fruity and citrus notes combined with sweet peat perfection. This expression was personally selected by the distillery team and is a vatting of double matured Lagavulin in specially-charred American oak casks, and first fill bourbon hogsheads. Bottled at natural cask strength. One of 6000 bottles.
In classic Australian style, this whisky has absolutely rippled flavour out of its cask. However, while I was expecting spiky youth in the spirit and the abv, it drinks with a maturity and ease that belies these facts. I have since bought two bottles. Absolutely delicious and as good, if not better, than it’s Scotch peers
