Lagavulin Offerman Edition Caribbean Rum Cask Finish Scotch Whisky

I have travelled the world and sampled many attempts at pleasing nectars, but it is solely this distillation of Islay; a tiny, charismatic Scottish isle, that has claimed my palate. Yea, and my heart into the bargain. – Nick Offerman

Tasting Notes:

Nose – Smouldering embers, gentle tarriness. Chili pepper, charred citrus rind, freshly fired crme brle, browned butter, tarte au citron. The creaminess is pronounced, but found alongside some distinct top-notes. Hints of cereal and straw. A distinct maritime and brine character, lemon meringue pie. Some subtle aromatics, almost like the texture of blossom honey, found after a few moments in the glass.

Taste – Bonfire smoke, cracked black pepper, tingling chilli, gentle lemon and lime citrus notes, vanilla sweets, a contrasting sweet salinity, brine. The bright and fruity side of salt and smoke. If there was such a thing as salted limes…

Finish – Chili pepper-like, smoky and fruity finish that goes on and on.
