The third release in Lagavulin’s partnership with actor Nick Offerman was designed to be enjoyed with a steak, but peat-loving vegans will enjoy it too. The nose has notes of campfire smoke, honey, heather, and butterscotch. The taste is peaty and phenolic with touches of creosote and charred oak complemented by citrus and honey underneath. The finish is long and smoky with charred oak and honey. Very nice! (October, 2022)
