A typical Lagavulin. The Distillers Edition is much sweeter and milder compared to the "normal" 16-year-old Lagavulin. The smoke is comparatively not so intense. Whether the higher price is justified in comparison to the "normal" Lagavulin is difficult to say, since both have the same Brennereicharakter but yet somehow different. Nevertheless, I like the Distillers Edition 2014 very well.

Fine, sweet and subtle smoke pours out of the glass. Malted fruit mixes pleasant smoke. An orange aroma meets vanilla and, of course, slightly peaty smoke again.
-
First come citrus fruits, oranges, to the fore. These fruity aromas are immediately covered by fine peaty smoke. Light salt and iodine over the tongue and go into a pleasant peppery pungency.
-
The sharpness of the taste becomes more intense. The smoke comes back and ends in a slightly bitter coffee note. The finish is medium in length, finely smoky and ends with a fine hint of coffee and a hint of nut.
