Lagavulin Lg2 (en)

This Lagavulin in the series "Elements of Islay" was sent to us by The Whisky Exchange. At a price of 49 euros for a pint, you can not really say it's an easily affordable whisky. We can however speak here of a largely consensual whisky since the difference between the highest score (92 points) and lowest (82) is only 10 points.Which is very low with regard to certain other bottles tasted within the WDTS.

Here are the notes extremes:

mapi

Nose with a powerful but very fine peat. with a salty side.. Camphor and lemon. Very elegant, with lovely freshness. The palate is marked by a very good balance between alcohol, flavor and interesting texture (a little oily but not too much). Very fine peat is present. Explosion of citrus on the palate. Nice long finish. The empty glass resumed notes of citrus fruit and leaves an impression of freshness.

Jolie Grenouille	Nose: Light peat, fine, which is increasingly present during aeration. A little bit fruity. Alcohol present but not disturbing. Palace: More fruity than peated in contrast to the nose. A little bit of mint. Final: Intense and long and peaty. A good whisky, pleasant.
Piazzolla	Nose: Sharp (cask strength?) and fresh. Mineral and iodine / slightly peaty. Seems sweet and savory. MOUTH: more mineral than peaty (a little on the new make) ... with a touch of marshmallow. touch of green apple. Very marine, iodine (the oyster). A little drying effect. FINAL: peaty iodine reappeares. Mustard and tar at retro olfaction! Well done, probably will thrill lovers of peat, but not me.
