Scotch Whiskey - Scotch

Lagavulin 16yr.

$25

Nose: Cured meats alongside hints of tar, rubber and charcoal, as well as bonfire, driftwood and camphor. Also whiffs of hemp rope and salted caramel, but then a gentle fruitiness highlighted by clementines and white peaches.

Taste: Texture is quite viscous, even at this low alcohol percentage, and there's a pleasant salinity as well. Sugar-coated peanuts with smoked barley husks, grilled beef, black olives and oranges, as well as earthy peat, tar and seaweed. Very happy with this.

Finish: Medium length. A sprinkle of salt, some walnuts and syrupy caramel, as well as lingering notes of iodine and diesel.
