Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
This Islay single malt is named for actor, comedian, and longtime Lagavulin lover Nick Offerman, who worked with distillery manager Colin Gordon to create the 11-year-old Offerman Edition.
The nose is rich and smoky with a gentle phenolic character and touches of heather, honey, soft spices, dried flowers, and a slight hint of brine – I’d compare it to a warm Islay hug. The taste has a rich, creamy mouthfeel with an excellent balance of smokiness and pepperiness complemented by a gentle touch of dried flowers along with honey, vanilla, and a hint of brine. The finish is classic Lagavulin: long, smoky, and smooth. Excellent! (November, 2019)
