Lagavulin 2010 Feis Ile Edition

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 57.2%

Score: 92 Points

This distillery-only exclusive sold out immediately on Lagavulin’s 2010 Feis Ile day. It was aged for just under 16 years in a sherry butt at the Port Ellen distillery warehouses. The nose has notes of almonds, orange peel, malt, and a touch of toffee, along with hints of smoke and brine. The taste is explosive – spicy and tingly with a hint of sulfur and smoke. Water opens up floral notes and a hint of syrup. The finish is creamy with muted spices. A well-rounded complex dram.
