Review – Cadenhead’s An Islay Distillery 2008 10 Year Old Warehouse Tasting Bottling

Looking to drink Lagavulin whisky in Singapore? This sample of Cadenhead’s An Islay Distillery 2008 10 Year Old Warehouse Tasting Bottling was sampled during a private Bring Your Own Bottle (BYOB) event at The Single Cask located at 30 Victoria Street Caldwell House, CHIJMES, #01-25, 187996. I have it on good word that the distillery for this bottling is Lagavulin.

Nose: spicy vegetal sweetness

Palate: light, creamy, deliciously sweet in a spicy milkis manner 

Initial remarks were that this is not a Lagavulin. The spicy, sour Milkis flavour profile is definitely an interesting one, as the sweetness is not typically reminiscent of your typical OB Lagavulins.
