Lagavulin Distillery

Aged 16 Years Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Apparently one of the oldest Distillery sites in Scotland. Located by the sea on the Isle of Islay this receives the slowest distillation of any Islay malt, then spends 16 years in old oak casks before being bottled. This is very pungent, peaty and smoky. One of my favourite single malts. — 2 days ago

Bob,
You should go to Islay. Lagavulin and Laphroaig and are only a couple of km down the road from each other
It’s a long way from Australia…I don’t want to imagine the flight connects.

@Jamie Lauder Thanks Jamie. I love Laphroaig as well - a toss up which is the most peaty. I’ve visited Talisker on the Isle of Skye which is the spiritual home of the Clan Donald (McDonald). Also had a tour of Glenmorangie over on the east coast.

Bowmore Distillery

Mariner Aged 15 Years Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Great release, but but to drink after pouring the glass. Loosing the taste after 30 min. — 4 years ago

Lagavulin Distillery

The Distillers Edition Double Matured Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2005

The best possible medium plus ballpark frank aromas then bright and birch-y (if I dare say so) on the palate. Smoke is the calling card, earth and bakery aromas back it up. — 3 years ago

@Paul T- Huntington Beach it’s a bit on you, thanks to trying Glenmorangie now by mind is expanded if not too much. But seriously you shared one of the first Scotches you told me old!

Yeah I remember, but this bottle has some serious Peat & Smoke. Nice upgrade. Great winter nights pour

Auchentoshan Distillery

American Oak Triple Distilled Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Day 22 of the 2025 Whisky Advent Calendar. Just noticed I tried this elsewhere earlier in the year. It’s a nice drinkable malt but I don’t think it stands out in particular. — 4 months ago
