Tasting Notes

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.

Lagavulin 16 Limited Edition

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 52.5%

Score: 93 Points

This is only sold at the distillery, and spent 16 years in an American Oak cask used for Pedro Ximenez sherry. The nose is peaty, but balanced well with notes of figs, dried orange peel, vanilla, and creme brulee. The taste is creamy with hints of peppermint, dark chocolate, and dried fruits, with just a touch of brine and peat. Water makes it smoother, and the finish is smoky and peppery with a touch of honey.
