Lagavulin 1996 Pedro Ximenez Finish Distillers Edition | £78.19 |
Michael Jackson
95- Nose
- Fresh attack, with a barrel of tar and punches of peat, sulphur and salt. The victim, enjoying being a masochist, is then soothed with beeswax.
- Palate
- Rich and extremely sweet, then smoky becoming medicinal and eventually seaweedy.
- Finish
- Pepper, salt, sand.
- Comment
- What it loses in character it gains in a different dimension of distinctiveness.
Doug McIvor
95- Nose
- Deep fragrant sherry slightly burnt and winey notes, followed by salt and seaweed.
- Palate
- Lightness subsides to reveal a chewy, dancingly oily body which resurges before releasing the sooty medicinal saviours.
- Finish
- Long, smoky, medicinal, smoky, salty, smoky.
- Comment
- A more lingering, classic Lagavulin with some of the corners knocked off and some subtle depths added.
