Introduction Following on my last post, a comparison of Feis Ile Laphroaig samples from whiskysamples.eu, I’m now comparing two cask strength Lagavulin samples. First up is a 1994/2010 for Feis Ile, bottled at 52.7%. There were only 528 total bottles in this release, and it’s coming from European Oak ex sherry casks. Next, we have [...]

Revisiting a favorite: Lagavulin 16 (2009)
Posted in Lagavulin, review, tagged Lagavulin 16 review, scotch, whisky on December 30, 2009 | 15 Comments »
Introduction I think this is my first repeat review, but I’m going to change my rating on this one, so I wanted to write about it again. I’m talking about Lagavulin 16 (43% abv), this one bottled in 2009. This expression is surely matured in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks, but I can’t [...]
Jammin’ with Norman Granz and Lagavulin DE

Introduction As I await the arrival of my purchased copy of Whisky & Jazz by Hans Offringa, I thought I’d go ahead and do my own Whisky & Jazz post. I was sitting with a couple of Lagavulins recently, going through my classic jazz collection, and I came across an amazing pairing: Lagavulin 1991 Distillers [...]

Quick Take Here’s my “quick take” graphic for Lagavulin 16. For more info about this format, and my rating system, see this post. Introduction [Update: I did a follow-up review of Laga 16 using a 2009 bottling in December, 2009] I was going to do a write-up on a great whisky/jazz combination, involving Lagavulin 1991 DE. [...]
Lagavulin 21 – The best. In theory, anyway.
Posted in Lagavulin, review, tagged Lagavulin, Lagavulin 21, review, scotch, whisky on June 20, 2009 | 10 Comments »
Introduction These tasting notes are based on a sample of Lagavulin 21 1985 vintage, bottled in 2007 at 56.5% ABV. It was matured exclusively in first-fill European oak sherry casks. Supposedly, this is to be the last “fully sherried” release from Lagavulin, and this was a limited bottling with 6600 numbered bottles. I’ve been very [...]
Lagavulin 12 ‘Special Release’ (2007)
Posted in Lagavulin, review, tagged Lagavulin, review, scotch, whisky on May 11, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Introduction Tonight [well, last night by the time I post this] I’m drinking from a 20 cl bottle of Lagavulin 12 ‘Special Release’, another sample from my 2007 Classic Islay Collection gift pack. I posted yesterday about the value of these gift packs because of the inclusion of the Port Ellen Annual Release. However, this [...]
