Lagavulin 16 Years
The classic Lagavulin is kilned with a high smoke content in the malt. The stills are pear-shaped, so that all flavors can be passed on to the condensers during distillation. The Single Malt then matures in Bourbon and Sherry casks to completion.

Taste:
Finish:
Comment: a great peated scotch.
Taste: Sweet, peppery, not complex, notes of sherry, notes of wet wood and skin.
Finish:
Smoky, feeling like after smoking cigars.
Comment: I like this whisky but I don't get why it's so overrate and overprice since last three months. Taste is really good but not complex. As for 43% and long maturation alcohol is to present in mouth and to sharp. My personal biggest minus is for after/after taste which is this unpleasant feeling after smoking ciggarettes which is one of the reason I don't smoke and will never do.
To sum up: good whisky, I like it but aftertaste will not let me buy it again too soon. Diffinitely can be a very good dram for peat lovers. Comparing to Ardbeg it is totally different.
Comment: It's good we can give another review here because I feel I have to bcs I do not agree with me any more :D I was not experienced drinker at that time and didn't know some whiskies need to breath for a bit. So Lagavulin does. Lagavulin became one of my best friends and I really don't think it is even a bit overpriced or overrated. It is just delicious.
