I bought this bottle about a week ago and it's almost gone. It never lasts. I think that sums up what I think of Lagavulin.

One of my faves
A complex, well-balanced dram with orange blossom, hay, and honey on the nose, a strong palate, and a sweet finish balanced by an alcohol bite.
Honey, vanilla, sweet pastry, fruit jam, and cinnamon evoke a classic afternoon tea, while the high proof adds warmth and depth without becoming overly sweet.
For a 25 year, I'm left underwhelmed. I've tried to like this bottle over the years, trying it at different times, but it lacks complexity and is nothing…
It’s got the peated nose that I don’t love, but the palette is great.
Wildly different.
Very fruity.
Rich.
Rich and decadent, this dessert-like whisky balances funky fruit flavors and peppery spice, finishing with lingering brown sugar and evolving heat.
Bursting with fruit flavor and leathery funkiness, this sweet-yet-savory whisky brings fruits, nuts, honey, and spice.
