Lagavulin 1999 Distillers Edition (Bottled 2015)

A wonderful, interesting whisky, not for everyone, specially made for experienced whisky lovers. The notes are so bold that it won't find an easy review anywhere. Bottled 43%abv, with a polished mahogany color. On the nose it is strong, powerful, savage and overwhelming. Peat, cooked ham, water balloons (really), olives, balsamic oil, and phenol notes everywhere. Fantastic. On the palate, starts with a bubblegum note, to change into oranges, citric, spicy but very pleasant, thick, with a long beautiful spicy mouth watering finish, with ashes and bonfire notes. Overall this is a 96 over a 100, absolutely recommended. Slaintè

You wouldn’t think there wouldn’t be much difference between editions, but this has a much quieter aroma. The flavor doesn’t disappoint. This edition would be much better accompanied by a meal. Other distillers editions seem to be better by a campfire. You still can’t seem to go wrong with Lagavulin.

This is like Toy Story 4. Good but not hitting the same heights as before. The problem: too Woody.

Smoother and quieter than other distillers editions I’ve had. A real pleasure to drink.

Love this! It’s my favorite. Gentle nose big peat punch but smooth! Drams up!

Solid lagavulin. Tasty.
