Default Re: Review one whiskey

This one is not for the novice.

Lagavulin 16 yr old - (I think I paid about $70 for the bottle)

Probably the antithesis to the Balvenie Doublewood (also a favorite), the Lagavulin is deeply smoky, peaty and a little harsh. It benefits greatly from a little splash of water (as most Scotches do), mellowing the attack and bringing the flavors to the surface.
