laguvalin 16 year old scotch

**absolom** · February 8th, 2007, 03:29 AM

islay single malt, it's comparable to the caol ila i had, it may be the best scotch i've had

aroma is extremely complex, with many underlying hints

first taste is a little nutty, with hints of floral tastes, smokiness, tobacco, oak, and a nice peaty finish

very very smooth

highly recommended for the scotch aficionado

I still have yet to try a single cask scotch (only blended)

But I will keep this review in mind once I start down that route

Single Cask is different from Single Malt. Single Malts can go through different Barrels and such to add different flavors. I think a single cask is single barrel. no second or third maturation barrels.

Correct.

Laguvalin is pretty tasty.

Hmm, ill check that out

. It gets kinda confusing sometimes with so many terms. Single malt, single barrel, single cask...

Just had some Tuesday night at the Capital Grille, quite tasty. Nothing like having a $250 dinner complete with open bar on JP Morgan's tab.

When someone else is paying, open bar is the best invention known to man
