Hard whiskey with a strong smoky flavor that reminds me of burnt rubber! Not for amateur drinkers! Only for those looking for something hard and rough!

It's a wonderful, classic, very elegantly smoked whisky, but its value doesn't match its high price, especially since there are other whiskies that don't use chill filtered or coloring as Lagavolben unfortunately does.

the watermelon is rubbish, say whatever you want

Simply perfect.....the best whisky I have tasted so far...definitely worth its money...rich, sweet and smoky flavor with an incredibly long aftertaste

It is very good, we can't say otherwise. Personally, what I noticed is that compared to older batches, it is not as strong on the nose - it doesn't release as many aromas, even after 2-3 weeks when the bottle is halfway through. Fortunately, the price has dropped a bit, because it had unjustifiably gone up, but still I find it a bit pricey. For these reasons, we will stick to 4 stars, friends.

The gentlemen in the previous reviews have described it fully. However, for my part, I will simply describe it with two words: Nectar - Elixir

It is the quintessential whiskey for those seeking a smoky and pure flavor. Excellent drink, which is superior even to much more expensive whiskeys.

I won't go into the process of commenting on what aromas it offers you, what experience you have when you drink it, I consider these self-evident. Those who have tried it know. (Of course, always neat, maybe 3-4 drops of strictly water, please don't let me hear about ice) However, for those who haven't tasted it, it's a shame not to try it at least once. I found it last Christmas for €88. 5+ stars.

Favorite and personally unbeatable for its price, smoky with full-bodied representative example of a label from Islay

After the Talisker 10 that I really liked, I decided to try something smokier and maybe even better. In the end, I was right!!! Quite intense smoky aroma, with a very nice and exquisite smoky flavor that takes you to another level! Salty, smoky, and a tobacco aftertaste that lingers for a while and elevates the whole experience! Peat and iodine flavor, but extremely well-balanced in taste and quite smoky. Fantastic in one word! Goes great with rock music...! If you like smoky flavors, it is recommended... Masterpiece!!! If you get used to smoky ones, the others will simply taste bland and inferior. Quality! The price is quite high, but even so, it's worth it! Compared to Ardbeg, which is also a wonderful malt whiskey, Lagavulin surpasses it in taste, aroma, peatiness, and in its more beautifully smoky taste...!!!!

The taste is subjective, each of us has different preferences.
Unique in aroma, as others have said, it is characterized by tobacco along with a sweet note. Also, if you consider the 16 and more years of aging in oak barrels, then it is worth the effort to buy and try it.
I like to drink it neat, without water or ice.
A slight objection to the price, there is an equivalent but stronger and more economical option (half the price or less), the Johnnie Walker Black Label Islay

Okay, simply the king of smokers. Very intense nose and the same for the palate. Intense smoke. It is no longer for every wallet. Fortunately, there is Talisker 10 which I consider almost equal in terms of quality.

Peated whisky is extremely aromatic and has a strong smoky flavor. Among the top ones, however, ARDBEG is at the top.

Top for lovers of smoky flavors, the others should try it since smoke is not for everyone. Those who consider the smoke excessive, when they see ARDBEG (the other smoky top), should run away. Finally, the doubling of its price is absolutely condemnable.

For the connoisseurs of smoking.... Simply unbeatable!

What can one say. Perfect, smoky, full-bodied, with a hint of sweetness, I believe it can be enjoyed all year round. Poem, beauty, mysterious, perfect.

Lover of this particular single malt for years. Those who enjoy smoky, heavy whiskey will love it. My only major complaint is its price now. Until last year, it was priced at 63 euros at Vasilopoulos, for example. Doubling the price is not justified since the other single malts did not have such large increases

Excellent whiskey, very smoky for some, perfect for others, but this is a bottle that costs 65 euros. At the price of 65, this is top-notch, just like Macallan. Excellent gift for friends and people who appreciate quality whiskey. But at this price, not even a euro more!!

A whisky that definitely is not for everyone! To be honest, my experience with single malt products is not extensive, as I have always preferred blended ones! As for this particular one, I can say that it is worth trying for someone who is looking for something different in whisky and at the same time can afford it! With the first sip, there are so many different flavors bursting out that you can't distinguish any specific one! Then, sip after sip, at least for me, what stood out was the intense note of iodine and wood that it leaves at the end of each sip! Additionally, a subtle hint of smokiness comes through and emphasizes the end of each sip without being particularly strong or heavy! I want to emphasize that I drink this whisky neat, without the addition of water or ice!

I tried it for the first time and felt such a intense and unique character like no other whiskey. I liked its smoky taste, without having prior experience. Intensity, passion, and aroma characterize it. I believe it's worth its money

Fantastic, intense, full of flavors taste
Without water or ice !!!!!!!!!!!
I recommend it to be accompanied either with dark chocolate or roasted chestnuts !!

A truly wonderful whiskey!!! Quite smoky indeed, but for those who enjoy smoky flavors, I consider it marvelous! You can feel the flavors on 3 (at least) different levels: beginning, middle, and end! With the beginning being intense, the middle being particularly aromatic and long-lasting, and the end leaving you with a sensation of quality tobacco! Simply exceptional! I drink it neat and usually pair it with a little prosciutto and metsovone cheese.

Two conditions. 1. You have to like smoky flavors. 2. You have to enjoy tasting whiskey. It wants you to give a few moments to your palate, to start bringing out the flavors beneath the smoke. Then it smooths out and becomes wonderful. However, I understand those who consider it to have a strong smokiness, it is unique, not a drink for everyone's taste. Therefore, for those who don't really like smoky flavors, it's better not to even consider buying it. As for the price, I'm getting really annoyed with the Scots. I found it in a "good" wine shop in my area for 84 euros. It's unacceptable, especially when I bought the last bottle 7 months ago for 65 euros.

If you like smoky, this is exactly the whiskey you are looking for...
For my taste, it is the best whiskey I have ever had..

Tremendously good smoky whiskey. The smoke is just right for me. The sweetness from the sherry overpowers the smoke. Of course, there is also the iconic iodine note of the region. When I first opened it, I wasn't impressed, but now - after a few months, reaching the halfway point and oxidizing a bit - I can say that it is exceptional. The only problem is that its price has skyrocketed and it keeps getting more expensive (I bought it for 60, imagine that).

This specific whiskey will only appeal to those who enjoy "smoky" whiskies as the peat is particularly intense in this one, and the alcohol content is strongly present in the taste. It is not a "smooth" whiskey. If you do not like "smoky" whiskies, like myself, it is better not to choose it.

Because I generally like "smoky" since I first tasted it, I never drank any other whiskey again. Always neat and slow. No water or ice. In Scotland, a friend of mine asked for ice and not only did they not bring it to him, but they also took his glass back.

I tried this whiskey for the first time when it cost 28 to 30 euros. That is, many years ago, before it became widely known and its price doubled. It is, in my opinion, only for special occasions and specific tastes, combined with smoked cheese, smoked meat, and smoking a pipe in front of the fireplace in winter. But no, I wouldn't pay that much money for a whiskey anymore, it's too expensive and not worth it unless you have extra for a cold winter Saturday night with good company who shares the same tastes.

If you like smoky flavors, then you must try it. It is one of the smokiest ones you can find and get ready for a strong taste. If you are not generally a fan of smoky flavors, it's better to spend your money on something else or else you will regret it.

If you want it as a gift, you must be sure that the person you are giving it to likes smoky whiskey, otherwise it will be a shame.
