I asked about a lagavulin I had not tried.

 

I decided to get it , as a sort of  ****   Treat   *****

I do know that BigBooze has purchased many traditional long standing Spirits

 

and added a grfead deal of marketing.  several recent and past articles in the WSJ and NYT

 

highlight this w regard to Tequila .  remember Im not a Whiskey aficionado   but I do know when I like something

 

I found the new  lagavulin very pleasant.  it had a great deal of caramel flavor , far more than the 16 YO

 

it did have peat flavors that were not medicinal or overpowering,   

 

I dont remember enough about the 16 yp to say if the level of peat flavor was the same or different.

 

Id say if the 16 yo is your very favorite whiskey , and you really like caramel flavors  then

 

you will like this one  

 

I can't say much about its ' age ' , subscribing to Older  is Smoother line.

 

certainly the caramel adds smoothness.   

 

ill go back to the 16 yo when I finish this bottle as Ive been enjoying those flavors for some time.
