Review #: 310
Description: Lagavulin Distiller’s Edition 2019
Spirit: Scotch
Background: Some more cheap whiskey, this comes from Europe via FineDrams. Not much info on this but I believe Brown-Forman exports a slightly different whiskey than their standard releases in the US and uses a different label. It is bottled at 43% ABV.
Distillery – Old Forester
Bottler – Old Forester
Brand – Old Forester
Selection – N/A
ABV – 43%
Age – NAS
Nose – Sweet with corn and brown sugar, little bit of plum and apple. There’s fruit but it’s not overly bright or sweet. Some savory baking spices
Taste – Thin but sweet with brown sugar and butter, apple
Finish – A little peppery and hot, orange and clove and cinnamon.
Score: 4
Would I buy a bottle? No
Thoughts: Nothing outstandingly gross, but it’s kind of thin and straightforward and the finish is somewhat hot. The nose was quite pleasant though.
