The aroma is surprisingly gentle but has a strong sherry, caramel, plum and apricot, seaweed or briny notes, damp earth, nuts, and a strong peat with iodine. When drinking it has viscosity but gradually becomes spicy, plum, apricot jam, a rich sweetness with nuts, thick peat, and a long, rich finish.
【Very Good】
Lagavulin 1995, bottled for the Friends of the Classic Malts, aged for 12 years.
Among Lagavulin's official bottles, it surprisingly has a strong sherry influence, adding elements like plum and caramel to the original apricot-like fruity notes.
It has the bold maritime nuances, earthy tones, and strong peat with iodine typical of an Islay malt. The sweetness has a rich depth, giving the impression of more body than its alcohol content.
Overall, it feels like a delicious official Lagavulin, delivering the expected classic feel.
