Mina kommentarer:
En klassiker. Detta är en gammal buteljering när det stod White Horse Distillers på etiketten. Ska vara den gamla, goda Lagavulin 16 med andra ord. Hoppas den motsvarar mina höga förväntningar. Min poäng: 90 p

Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

Well, I think I've mentioned the Lagavulin 16yo (43%, OB, Bottled +/- 2003, L15T01632982) once or twice before on this site, so there's no need for lengthy introductions. It reigned supreme for a decade.
Nose: Gently sherried. Then some peat. Aaah... More peat. Fabulous organics as well. This needs a few seconds. Wow! I love it, I love it. Amazing complexity with time.
Taste: Not as powerful as the nose. In fact, it starts out rather weak. Smoky. Sherry. Salt. Then the peat comes marching to the front, together with wood and something medicinal.
Score: 88 points. The same old story; based on the nose I'd go for a score in the 90's. Unfortunately, it loses just a few points on the palate. Too bad, but it's still a killer malt. Even more important, the 'slide' of Lagavulin seems to have stopped. Not the stellar malt it once was, but solid competition for the Laphroaig 15yo. Colour: Deep amber gold
Taste: Dry peat smoke fills the palate with a gentle but strong sweetness followed by sea and salt with touches of wood.
Finish: A long, elegant peat-filled finish with lots of salt and seaweed.
