Lagavulin 16

This may be the definitive Islay malt. It's got everything Islay has to offer in perfect balance. The Lag 16 should be the "official" introduction to peat. Nose is smoky wood embers, Atlantic Ocean surf during a cool day, and some sulphurous struck match heads. Palate is briny, freshly smoked Sturgeon, light molasses, and medicinal iodine like sterile gauze dressing. Finish is dry with a mesquite smoke sensation. This would be an excellent fireside drink.
