The King of Islay in his prime, fiercely rampant, with a clarity of vision and a sense of purpose none can deny. A glorious and classic Lagavulin, with an intensity, saltiness and sweetness that balance perfectly as perfumed wood smoke rises to envelop them all; absolutely delicious.

WILL BE SEND OUT WEEK COMMENTING
THE 18TH OCTOBER
NOSE:
Mild, drying and soon, wonderfully aromatic; clean, fresh and maritime,
with top notes of sea air and Himalayan salt, supported by fragrant
smoke-dried Lapsang Souchong tea, mineral salts and light cleansing
salve. Beneath these lie drier notes of cocoa powder and dried seaweed,
with a squeeze of lemon zest, this salty sweetness imbued with wood-smoke
from a distant bonfire on the shore.
PALATE:
The texture is smooth and attractively oily; the taste sweet to start then soon
growling with an intense lemon acidity, with a sprinkling of sea-salt and
persistent char talking each sip. The overall salty-sweet taste is rounded,
softened and sweetened by a drop of water.
FINISH:
Long, with great waves of smoke, and roaring with chili pepper warmth.
Even better with a dash of water. Smoke lasts wonderfully in the aftertaste.
