The texture is velvety, creating a luxurious and well-rounded mouthfeel that captivates the senses. Mid-Palate: In the mid-palate, the complexity deepens. Undertones of oak and a gentle smokiness contribute additional layers, enhancing the whisky's depth. The sherry cask influence becomes more pronounced, offering a delightful interplay of sweet and savory notes that unfold with each sip. Finish: The finish is a lingering celebration of Lagavulin's legacy. The peat smoke gradually mellows, leaving behind a warm and satisfying conclusion.
