2021 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Lagavulin 8 Years Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Scotland), 48% abv, $68.00, 750 ml

95
Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

A youthful, energetic Islay dram, it showcases elevated aromas of green apple, salted cantaloupe, cured meats, iodine, and heather honey with whispers of smoke. Smoke emerges on the palate, but does not dominate, with hints of graham cracker and pink peppercorn enduring on an everlasting finish.
