Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Islay 16 Year Old

Lapsang Souchong and fruity sherry on the nose. The dryness is at first offset by the sweetness of the sherry character. As the palate develops, oily, grassy, and, in particular, salty notes emerge in a long, sustained, aggressive, attack. A huge, powerful, bear-hug of peat on the finish. The driest of Islay malts, and an established classic.
