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.
