Lagavulin 16

This one we got lucky on. Aaron gets a gift card from his work on his birthday and hire anniversary. He cashed them out for costco giftcards last year. We used them to get Lagavulin when it was on sale. It only cost us about 20 bucks, but it's normally about 90 bucks if you get it from Bevmo.

Color: 1990s sunglasses. Light reddish brown, like a beer bottle.
Alcohol Content: 43%
Nose:  Apple, cold fruit, parmesan? Something else is there, but I can't pin it. Not a great smell. The apple and cold fruit are nice but something fuckey is present.
Taste: Almost like a white grape. This is not strong at all on the tongue. Light burn but more on the mild side than other things I've tasted. Far on the fruit side, not tasting a lot of peat.
Finish: Finish is much better. Smokey, fruity, refreshing. Like a mouth full of water at a bbq. Quite nice.
Notes: This was pretty nice. If it wasn't 90 bucks I would have it in my house all the time. I will probably get it whenever it goes on sale. Unlike most of the things I've tried, I'm happy I got to taste it.

95/100.
