Lagavulin 37 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Sensational and rounded. Aroma of dark chocolate, peat and ripe tropical fruits.

Palate: Touches of banana, charcoal, black tea and pine on the palate.

Finish: Slightly tart, beautiful finish.

TASTING NOTES

This is a venerable Lagavulin which immediately shows its age with a nose that mixes the savoury (hoisin sauce) with the mature notes of dunnage warehouse, sandalwood, and a minty lift. In time, there’s bog myrtle, old attics, rain-moistened wool, and a smokiness akin to a dead briar pipe. Slightly timid to start, it bursts mid-palate with lanolin and black olive brine, and a Darjeeling-like grippiness
