Description
Lagavulin 11Y Offerman Edition 75CL The second release in Lagavulin’s Offerman Edition collection, made in partnership with actor Nick Offerman! After resting in American white oak casks, this single malt spent the final four months of its 11-year maturation finishing in ex-Guinness casks.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: an ashy start, with crushed peppercorns and hints of roasted coffee beans. Also seaweed, hints of pickled peppers and green olive brine, more youthful than the 12 and 16. Tarry herbs and something of a burnt pancake underneath.
Mouth: rich and tarry, with a caramel sweetness and earthy notes. Salty sea spray and oak char. Now more chocolate and sweet coffee flavour, lifted by a hint of smoked lemon. It’s rather close to the 12 Year Old now, albeit without the huge intensity and with some round Stout notes in the distance. Slightly bitter almonds, and still this raw olive brine edge.
Finish: medium length, on warm smoke, hints of gingerbread and lemon peel.
