Peated whisky that made me happy. Who knew? Going over to the dark side. Please remember to like share and subscribe. Spread the word. This is a pear happy place
I knew!! lol!! 😂 This is a spectacular scotch! Yes this is a 16 yo scotch from all I have read and in talking to people knowledgeable about scotch. It’s not overpowering with sherry and it doesn’t drown out the peat!! This is about $200 here with taxes - same price as the 16. It’s worth it!! Great thoughts Gert!! So glad to see you enjoying a Lagavulin! I will be interested to see what you think of the Thompson Brothers. There is colour added. This is fabulous scotch!!
Lagavulin will always be one of my favorite whiskies. Have tasted most destillery editions from them. The tastiest so far have been DE 1995. Superb. Great review. Cheers
@@WhiskyLoversSocietyHave you tried the Kilchoman Sanaig and the Ardbeg Uigeadail? I think you would like those as you like a bit of sweetness in your whisky.
it used to be a yearly batch 16yrs old until 2019, then 2020 & 2021 15yrs of age and since 2022 NAS. They might not step down to 6/7/8 yrs right now, however they could and in my opinion will do so gradually over the next years

Jean and I have gotten more and more into Lagavulin over the last few years. Well done! Cheers.
A friend just said this is the 16 specially distilled for a DE. Check the ppm but I think it’s much lower than 40ppm!
I get more notes of the dirty peat and the pom are relatively low. I think it’s about 20ppm.

Have to wait a bit. Have some other whisky in the line. This one is a winner

@@brummie11 appreciate your feedback. Cheers
It certainly used to be a 16-year-old: the one I've got says it was distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2014. Not sure if it has switched to NAS now...
@@andrewbutler7681 I tried to get the information but yes the information is not available. Cheers
Chill filtered. And colored. FYI
@@sugarkitty4777 indeed. Mate. But you know, don’t care, liked it. Cheers mate
Is there a good value "sherry monster" that you'd recommend?
Glenfarclas 105, Glenallachie in general.
I just looked at other sources - this is a 16 yo scotch.
Thanks
