General description

Pretty decent Laga - it's youth adds some vibrance and is not necessarily a bad thing. Well balanced with stronger sherry notes than most Lagavulins.

General description

Really yum, not as intense as the 8 or the 16, but very good.

Nose

So surprising for lagavulin is that Caramel and toffee are the leading notes, followed by a toasty pine forest fire smoke, seaweed and brine

Palate

Citrus, stewed figs, beautiful spice and a slightly subdued smoke for lagavulin. brine and sea spray linger

Finish

longer lasting smoke, although not intense, spice, brine and lemon.

General description

Sweet, smokey peat and sour apricots on the nose, sweet peat and bbq meats on the silky palate, the finish is long and smokey with more sweet peat and sour apricots. Empty glass smells amazing.

Nose is sweet like salted caramel, tobacco, banana and smoke. Oily peaty smoke taske, caramilzed fruits, bit salty and a wonderful long smoky, spiced finish.

General description

Ich kannte bisher nur die beiden älteren Standardabfüllungen der Brennerei, die schwer und gesetzt im Glas liegen. Dieser hier ist eher spritzig mit Banane, Vanille und Zitrone und dem typischen Laga Rauch darüber, allerdings viel "heller".

Im Mund sehr weich, fast ölig, trotzdem leicht pfeffrig. Dazu süß und rauchig.

Im Abgang sofort kalte Asche, durch die sich langsam die Banane kämpft und von Espressonoten begleitet wird.

An Komplexität nicht mit den älteren Brüdern zu vergleichen aber gefährlich süffig. Schönes Teil für solch eine "Marketing" Abfüllung, gefällt mir gut und mit dem besseren Ende als deren Pate.

Note: 2+

7/10

General description

Its seven years younger and 3% more alc/vol than the 16 year, so there is some noticeable difference. The nose is peaty, but less pronounced than the 16 year. Its a tad more fruity and oaky than its older brother. Taste is not as complex and the bbq peat that i'm accustomed to is not as prevalent. The taste is still great, fruity and complex, but just a tad more harshness on the backend. Its enjoyable, but it doesn't live up to the 16 year. Cool bottle, but if your not a collector of the GoT bottles then I would stick with the 16 year.

Just what you can expect from Lagavulin, smoke and peat. Can't go wrong with this one.

General description

Peaty and fruity, with apple, pear, blackcurrant and smoked meat. Saline, banana, liquorice and burnt sugar. Very well balanced. Tried this as a sample, but I'll surely pick up a bottle.

General description

Lovely dram feels like 16 turned up in peat. I will say I miss the finish of 16 with the uplift but would say its amazing on every other front. One other gripe is the price I think for a 9 year old it should be less yes I get that it is a game of Thrones whisky and you are going to pay for that, plus it is at a higher proof than the 16 but I think £50 pound or around that would be a better price. Hopefully they start releasing this as a standard bottle but I have yet to try the 8 year old so I can't say if it improves over that expression.
