Nose: Sweet with notes of milk chocolate and lemon, smoked tea, maritime aromas, soot. With water, becomes extremely fruity with a trace of red fruit jam and its smoky side coming through strongly.
Taste: Light and full-bodied texture at once, smoky then dry. Minty dark chocolate, salty. Water rounds things out and makes the taste even more powerful and succulent and sweet and spicy.
Finish: Beautiful, clean, very long with mentholated smoke.
Launched to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Lagavulin distillery by John Johnston in 1816, this eight-year-old single malt Scotch whisky is balanced and smoky. A celebration of the people and craftsmanship that have made Lagavulin great over the past two centuries, its tea-scented smoke and nose-drying maritime aromas are released with just a drop of water. Inspired by Alfred Barnard's visit to the distillery in the 1880s, when he tasted an 'exceptionally fine' eight-year-old wine from the distillery, it's a fitting tribute to this milestone.
Nose: Linkwood Wilson & Morgan 100 proof reveals subtle aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla, honey and woody notes. Feel: On the palate, this single malt offers rich, complex flavors of tropical fruit, caramel, nuts and spices, with a lovely intensity due to its high alcohol content. Finish: The finish is long and warm, leaving lingering notes of dried fruit, oak and pepper. An elegant, powerful whisky that will delight lovers of characterful single malts.
This bottling is dedicated to the Swiss physician, naturalist, humanist, polyhistorian and encyclopedist Conrad Gessner (1516-1565). In his book 'The History of Four Foot Beats and Serpents', Gessner described and drew the mythical animal Seawolf on page 580. The distillery's current logo is taken from Conrad Gessner's notes.
