The 16 year is the classic timeless one but they have a variety. Currently have opened a bottle of the 11 year charred oak cask which has some extra smoke if you like that. But all Lagavulin is very smokey.

Alright thanks! This is so interesting

I have to ask, are you particular to smokey? I’m interested in knowing what people accept as the ‘best’ Scottish whisky.

Personal preference. For me it’s the combination of the smoky and peaty taste - reminds me of the smell of fresh summer rain on soil in the tropics

That’s awesome: Your views on Scottish whisky are based on experiences in the tropics. Goes to show that taste is subjective on a whole other level.

Cheers, Avi. ⚡️

I like smokey personally as it is how i was introduced. But it definitely is not for everyone.

Like everything, taste is indeed subjective. But Lagavulin is one of the smokiest out there. Which I love.

Lagavulin is the most loved, no doubt, but it’s still ‘mellow’ compared to Laphroaig. No offence, I’m just really interested in who appreciates what.

The Laphroaig quarter cask is a beast

Are you tempting me? I think you are!

Laphroaig is wonderful as well. Different smokes for different folks
