Whisky #26: Lagavulin 16yo

Big Whisky Indeed.

Marmalade orange colour with an aroma of singed fruit, a whiff of burnt toast, infused with peat.

Peat riven through the dram like letters through seaside rock. The effect is tidal - sweet malts and a sip of sherry are caught up and thrown around by the dry waves of peat and the salty backwash.

It's big and it knows it. A corking wintery dram.

Tonight's weather - stone cold crazy with a suggestion of anticipation on the horizon.
