Lagavulin 11 Offerman Edition 2024 (lemmy.world)

First pour tonight, and I gotta say it's pretty good. I'm no professional, but if you like Lagavulin's other offerings you will probably like this.

It's sweet, like really sweet, but I think the peat and smoke counteract it well.

On the nose, the rum barrel didn't really stand out to me, it smells like Lagavulin, but just a little different.

The taste is immediately sweeter than standard 16, but still tastes familiar. Milder on peat, and big on vanilla.

And the finish I found good, the rum fades away, and the peat lingers.

I paid $89 for it and I'd say it was a good buy, I wouldn't pay more though.
