Last year Lagavulin released a 16-year-old special edition whisky and this year (2009) it’s continuing the cycle, offering a single malt double- ... last year’s phenolic monster, more delicate while still carrying plenty of briny, peaty notes that Lagavulin is so well-known for. The sherry character is especially pronounced, giving this Islay malt a bit more balance than might otherwise be ...

... it gets a bit sweeter and fruitier, even traces of chocolate and honey can be tasted.
Finish: Very long, fruity peat
Overall: The epitome of an Islay malt, smoke, peat, fruit, sweetness, Lagavulin has it all.

Talisker is like having a saucy conversation with a very witty companion - full of anticipation for the next turn of phrase or in this case, the next surprising (and rewarding) twist of flavor.
Lagavulin 16
Lagavulin has the feel of slipping into a good tweed jacket on a crisp, autumn night - a little rough on the exterior but very comfortable after years of wear.

... superb, having said that, it grows on the palate and the honey flavours really come through the more you taste. It is imminently drinkable, and at 35 pounds, a bargain. I think the 16yo lagavulin is better - maybe - but this is certainly better than the BL Rocks. Of the lower percentage Islay's I've had.

... Speyside. Both excellent.
I have saved the best for last. For me, Islay Scotch Whisky is the best from all the regions. Bowmore 12-year is a reasonably priced choice. It has all the characteristic flavours of Islay - peat, iodine, seaweed, salt. Ardbeg is awesome.
My most favourite of all time Single Malt Scotch Whisky is Lagavulin.

... who enjoy different tastes. For me, it's the smokies. There's something alchemical about an amber liquid that manages to contain the aroma and taste of smoke. In a recent tasting I attended they had us taste the Lagavulin 12 Year Old from Islay ($74.99) last because it's the one that sticks with you. One sip and you will be tasting smoke on your palate for hours. The sensation is not ...

... found
large quantities of alcohol could be even more beneficial for men.Â
... For those drinking little - less than a shot of vodka a day for
instance - the risk was reduced by 35%. And for those who drank
anything from three shots to more than 11 shots each day, the risk
worked out an average of 50% less.
My preference: single malt Islay scotches, e.g. LaPhroaig, Lagavulin, and Caol Ila.
