+87
sentiment
Lagavulin 12, a non-age statement Islay whisky, offers a well-balanced profile with a mix of salty olives, blue cheese, and lemon butter on the palate. It presents a powerful and unique taste experience with a perfect balance of fruits like melons, cantaloupe, pineapple, and lemons, complemented by coastal and smoky elements. The finish is long and satisfying, making it a highly enjoyable dram with a sentiment score of 87.

Big fruit on the nose, pretty soft considering the high proof. I think it's a really good value for $125.

Really smoky clear straightforward.

Punchy and intense. Peat, citrus, tar, petrol, flint, paraffin, medicine, salt, black licorice, hot dogs. This is a good whiskey, but this is too expensive.

It's definitely a strong one, so this is from my personal view, nothing for a beginner. This has edges and unusual notes in it, which is not very compatible to the starter.
Malt Reviews
The most powerful salty delicious olives ever. It is like the most amazing martini olive brine. Super enjoyable one of those whiskies where you want a backup bottle of for sure for that price.
Whisky In The 6
Sherry seaweed salt, salted chocolate, salted caramels, just incredible nose. I would say it's worth the money.

If you're a friend of Lagavulin, you should head for such a bottle. It's good as well.

LAGAVULIN 12 YEAR (2021 RELEASE)
This is like a super solid 90 out of 100 for me and it's like you don't even think about going lower. It's a perfect 90.

What is the Best Lagavulin?
This 25 year old Lagavulin is just beautiful. If I give this anything less than a 93, I'm being ridiculous.
