About: As part of the marketing gimmick, all six "classic" single malt whiskies produce a variation of their marque product that has been finished in a unique cask. In this case, the 16 year Lagavulin has been finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks.
Year sampled: 2009
Color: Sherry-infused darkness
Nose: Fresh roadkill(including lingering burning rubber on asphalt), salty, anise, medicinal
Palate: Nice, smooth, crunchy coal
Finish: Thick and juicy. Tip of tongue, Ben Gay, still anise, cleans up delightfully
Overall: Winter by the fireplace. Absolute brilliance! Don't add any water.
