Lagavulin 16

Not an overly complex single malt, but an extremely drinkable one that is easy to enjoy. Nose: Sweet butterscotch and salted caramel note up front. An earthy peat with slightly iodine and maritime-like notes of seaweed. Dried dates and plums. Some apples and pears with some milk chocolate. Savoury smoked meats and old leather. Cinnamon, nutmeg and more oak spices. Taste: Rather oily and creamy mouthfeel. Raisins, pears and butterscotch. Some vanilla sweetness and sea salt. Lapsang soughing tea with herbal notes of aniseed and more baking spices. Some dark tobacco notes. Earthy, dirty peat notes and more savoury meats. No burn and extremely drinkable. Finish: Medium in length. Slightly ashen smoke wrapped around more sweet toffee notes and dark chocolate here. More of that lovely tea note here. Some oak spice lingers.
