Palate: Medium Mouthfeel, dry stickiness. Heat, Campfire Smoke, Lemon Pledge, Citrus sweetness, light rasberries, a bit of Sulphur.
Finish: Medium length, ash, peat, pledge wipes, campfire smoke.
Rating: 7/10
Guess: This is good, Im going to guess Laphoraig, ex Bourbon Barrel, 12-15 years old, 52%-56%
Reveal: Lagavulin Game of Thrones
Way off on my guess on this one, but Im pleasantly surprised, as this is my favorite Laga I have had up to this point. If I could find it at the right price, I wouldn’t mind having a bottle.
