  1. checkpointuk scored this whisky 91 points Connoisseur

    http://www.weinkenner.de/2013/lagavulin-distillers-edition-die-story-und-die-aktuelle-abfuellung-im-tasting-27350/ Color: Old Gold / Bright Amber
    Nose: Sparkling and refreshing orange with subtle vanilla flavors and a dash of lemon juice. Emerging peaty smoke paired with iodine, seaweed and algae. In addition a pleasant spice and notes of coal, ashes, tobacco leaves and a pinch of black pepper.
    Taste: At the beginning rather dull with peat, smoke, coffee and dry ash. This is followed by malty Roestaromen with vanilla and a fruity lemon-orange mix. Only now, the sweet sherry flavors from the PX Fass prevail. In addition, the whisky smokier and saltier.
    Finish: Long, soft and dry smoky. The peat and the oak wood settle through stronger, so that the finish is a bit tart. Towards the end, delicious cocoa and chocolate aromas are added, which remain on the tongue for a long time.
    Comment: A wonderful, complex and multi-layered Distillers Edition!
    Not so sweet, so that could give the impression that the PX Cask Finish was short lived.
    91 points (nose: 91 / taste: 91 / finish: 90)

  2. ASWhisky scored this whisky 90 points Connoisseur

    a great whisky
    harmonious and yet with a little inner tension through an interplay of flavors
    I find it perfect that the PX Cask Finish character is rather subliminal and not so dominant
    i have touched the sky
    • Nose
      initially surprisingly fresh with Zitusfüchten and vanilla
      behind it heavy wood and smoke flavors> tobacco, leather>
    • Taste
      Malt, wood, oak> then sweetness, dried citrus fruits, tingling fresh sweetness,> spanish late summer on the tongue .. wow port wine (sherry), olives (salt), small fish (sea), herbs (seasoning), sun (warming )

    • Finish
      long> salt, smoke, there's Islay,> dark chocolate, cocoa powder with a little sherry cherry and again spain
      > at the very end old leather with best regards from Lagavulin;)

  3. pianoman scored this whisky 90 points Connoisseur

    • Nose
      Barbecue smoke, lemons, a little salt and a touch of blood orange. Vanilla, freshly ground coffee, a trace of iodine. Tobacco leaves, old leather.
    • Taste
      Round, slightly oily. Light honey, grilled apricots, steak pepper with hickory smoke. Vanilla, espresso. Dark chocolate with candied ginger. A trace of wood ash.

  4. EarlMobile scored this whisky 90 points Expert Junior

    The best Lagavulin I've tasted so far. Not so sweet, but otherwise just what you expect: a round complex Lagavulin that does not deny its origin with a wonderful and long finish.

  5. schero scored this whisky 87 points Expert Senior

    Oh, if that had more bums ...
    • Nose
      Juicy oranges, subtle smoke, slightly mineral, strawberries, finely interwoven, light impact of tobacco and coffee powder, later added a restrained citrus note
    • Taste
      Sweet to strawberries, light smoke, very spicy, again quite mineral, getting drier, oak spice
    • Finish
      The oak dominates, the smoke is below - keeps the finish alive, very spicy accompanied by the Sherry sweetness

  6. Schnappsdrossel scored this whisky 87 points Expert Senior

    The finish is not quite mine, but all in all, it fits quite well together.
    • Nose
      He needs a little bit to open himself. PX sweetness, blended with old solder, coking rosin, black tea, scorched circuit board. Bitumen, old half-timbered house. Clothes after a day at the campfire. Marzipan, bitter almond.
    • Taste
      Soft, nothing burns, oily, less sweet than the 2000s, salty, tang, canned plums.
    • Finish
      Finish: Long, warm, black tea, seaweed, bittersweet.

  9. Archer scored this whisky 91 points Connoisseur

    Fantastic, no comparison to the current Distillers Editions. He also does not need more Vol.%, But he is just as he is, just good.
    • Nose
      Hm, very noble. The peat smoke is subtle, but wonderfully naseschmeichelnd. Roasted orange slices, juicy blackberries, blackcurrants, almond puree, everything perfectly coordinated, a round thing.
    • Taste
      Full and oily, almost creamy, with more pronounced smoke than in the nose. A big ham, just taken from the smokehouse. Again redcurrants, now as a compote, British marmalade with bits, not so bitter. Pepper comes .... First, he literally glides over the tongue and then gets stuck everywhere. Very intense taste experience.
    • Finish
      Long and not too dry, lots of spicy smoked ham, pepper, red berries. The finish takes and does not end.
