#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.

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
