Lagavulin 11 Year Old Offerman 3rd Edition.
A flavoursome dram that is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, ideally alongside a perfectly cooked steak. Discover waves of flavour with hints of vanilla and chocolate, sweet red berries, sea salt brine and Lagavulin’s signature smoke, followed by a lingering spicy finish.
COLOUR: light gold.
NOSE: starts with banana foam, dried pineapple cubes and guava syrup, which suggests charred oak indeed. Very gentle, pretty un-Lagavulin so far. Notes of daiquiri then, while the famous smoke's starting to slowly take over (phew!) More charred things, coconut, maize syrup, then flowers (elderberry, acacia beignets), marshmallows… I'm not hundred percent sure Lagavulin and heavy char do tango well, actually. A little sweet on your nose.
MOUTH: the smoky spirit is fighting back, but the syrupy sweetness has not said its last word yet. More marshmallows, wine gums, dried fruits (especially coconut, papaya and pineapple), vanilla liqueur…
FINISH: medium and very sweet.
TASTING NOTES: Whisky Fun.
