#Throwback to a great independent bottling - a peated #caolila has been aged for 14yrs. Its certainly made for lovers of smoky whiskies. Citrusy fruits and vanilla notes on the palate with peaty smoke throughout the experience. It certainly isn't as smoky as your ardbeg or Laphroaig but still packs a punch. This was at a tiny bar in Auckland. Another great whisky loving city. . . . #tbt #dothelaga #thirstythursday #kyandkey #independent #laphroaig10 #islay #caskstrength #lagavulin #peat #smoke #ardbeg #lagavulin16 #scotland #peaty #scottish #caolila12 #portellen #gordonandmacphail #ardbeg10 #islaywhisky #whisky #islaymalt #islaysinglemalt #peatedwhisky https://www.instagram.com/p/CHxHV4-sgmm/?igshid=i2gtmrqkdfyb

#DoTheLaga. The #lagavulin8, arguably my favourite #scotch under 10yrs old. Slight medicinal on the nose which is conformably dominated by the peat and smoke. Honey hits the palate first clashing with peat and peppery hints as the experience progresses. The finish is magnificent with charred smoke which lingers while coastal saltiness appears and disappears just as quickly.

#Lagavulin 11. The Offerman edition! Great Islay drop though for me the 16 is a better option and that is taking nothing away from this bottle. The 11 year old has stronger spice notes with notes of vanilla. The 16 is sweeter with its honey and vanilla notes with delicate spice notes. The #peat content to me was very similar. Has anyone else tried this? Thoughts? . . . #islay #kyandkey #peaty #laphroaig10 #lagavulin9 #lagavulin11 #peat #lagavulin8 #smoke #dothelaga #ardbeg #lagavulin16 #scotland #mondaymotivation #scottish #motivationalmonday #portellen #manicmonday #ardbeg10 #islaywhisky #caolila #islaymalt #kilchoman #islaysinglemalt #whisky #peatedwhisky (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4uFR_6nSuV/?igshid=1i4dst8v413z6

Which one do youb hunk is better value, #Lagavulin 8 or #lagavulin16? Laga 8 on the nose there is slightlyt medicinal notes which is quickly drowned out by the peat and smoke. Lagavulin's signature honey notes take a hold of the palate as clashes against the peat and peppery spice. Brilliant! Charred smoke lingers on the finish as coastal saltiness makes an appearance. 💨 💨 💨 💨 #dothelaga #laphroaig #kyandkey #thirstythursday #islay #tbt #laphroaig10 #lagavulin #kilchoman #peat #diageo #smoke #ardbeg #lagavulin8 #peaty #laga8 #scotland #smokywhisky #caolila12 #portellen #laphroaig18 #ardbeg10 #islaywhisky #peatedwhisky #islaymalt #islaysinglemalt #caolila (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzfZuT4nFhX/?igshid=e7gxb4wyyrwy

I drink and I know things! Who is ready for #gameofthrones season 7? The House of Lannister #lagavulin 9 surprised me. Went in with low expectations and it pleased. Tobacco smoke dominates both on the nose and palate. A dash of water to the 48% abv will reveal sugary sweetness Lagavulin is renowned for. 💨 💨 💨 #mondaymotivation #kyandkey #motivationalmonday #islay #got #laphroaig10 #dothelaga #lagavulin #lannister #peat #houseoflannister #smoke #lagavulin16 #ardbeg #peaty #diageo #scotland #portellen #scottish #ardbeg10 #islaywhisky #caolila #islaymalt #whisky #islaysinglemalt #peatedwhisky #lagavulin8 (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwRb549nIpG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cvsr0q1abtyt

Caol Ila 35 forms part of Diageo's Special Releases and its very much a refined Islay #whisky with peat in the background. To my surprise the palate is dominated by sugary cinnamon notes with smoky notes gliding by mid palate. Is there a Islay whisky that surprised you with its notes? . . . . #whiskywednesday #kyandkey #ardbeg #whiskeywednesday #islay #laphroaig10 #lagavulin #peat #lagavulin16 #peaty #smoke #scotland #caolila35 #scottish #caolila12 #portellen #caolila15 #ardbeg10 #caolila #islaywhisky #dothelaga #islaymalt #ardbegdrum #diageo #islaysinglemalt #peatedwhisky #specialrelease (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0A8wPpnFBT/?igshid=1soz6qeezyu5t
