The seventh instalment in the 'Lg' Elements of Islay series, created from Islay single malt whisky matured in refill bourbon barrels, distilled in the mid 2000's. Bottled at cask strength, 56.8% vol, should be another corker!
Tasting Notes
Lg7 - Elements of Islay (Lagavulin) Producer Notes
Nose: Initially, maple-cured bacon and orange sponge cake give a great balance of sweet and savoury. Delicate honeysuckle is offset by barbecue char and toasted marshmallows. The smoke is full and aromatic, like Chinese tea.
Palate: Thick and creamy with the classic iodine character and some sweeter notes coming through. There is a thick and meaty note, almost like caramelised beef fat blended with cockles and burnt honeycomb.
Finish: Warm spice with toasted caraway seeds and salty dryness.
