About this deal

I posted the 16 Year Old yesterday but the 8 Year old at this price is very competitive. I was told Tesco had it at £42 but this doesn't appear to be online anymore and I couldn't see a better price on google or the big competitors.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose – Immediately quite soft with clean, fresh notes, faint hints of milk chocolate and lemon and then developing fragrant tea-scented smoke alongside nose-drying, maritime aromas, with subtle cereal. A prickliness seen earlier now develops, while the trademark Lagavulin dryness emerges as fresh newsprint. Softly sooty. Softer, fuller and more rounded with water: it’s not hugely fruity but there’s just a trace of red berry preserve, perhaps, beneath the smokiness, which comes sharply into focus.

Palate – A soothing light texture, with a magnificently full on Lagavulin taste that’s somehow even bigger than you expect; sweet, smoky and warming, with a growing, smoky pungency, then dry, with more smoke. Charred, with minty, dark chocolate. Beautifully balanced midpalate then salty, oven-charred baked potato skins and smoke. Water rounds things, the taste still mighty yet more succulent, sweeter, spicier and now tongue-tingling, mint-fresh and warming.

Finish – Lovely; clean, very long and smoky. Smoothly, subtle minted smoke surrounds chocolate tannins, leaving a late drying note to emerge in time. It’s warming, soft and still smoky with water, not as long or intense now, yet still leaving the palate dry as sweet smoke lingers on the breath.

There is a small shipping fee if the basket is below £100 (5.95 I think) but you can collect from their store if you live locally.

I have looked for reviews but they don't appear to use Trust Pilot, their google reviews are good though 539 reviews almost 5*'s.

Their Islay releases look really good over the next week with Feis Ile too.

    Is it weird to want to like this because it's Ron Swanson's favourite, but I don't like smoky whiskys?

    With delivery, it is pretty much normal price. Amazon usually does it on offer, so if you want it, hold out for a bit

    Currently £43 in Tesco if you have a club card.

    Tesco don't have any, Ive checked (twice now). None at full or the Clubcard offer that I could find (haven't checked in store). Closest price I've found is £52.50 on amazon, happy to be proven wrong though.

    I also have a vendetta against amazon, the world will realise it's a false economy eventually. Tesco Club Card discounts shouldn't be allowed either - both just manipulate people and steal our data! (edited)

    Not a bad price but I usually wait till it's under £40

    It was around £41 recently on Amazon, I got a bottle and it's lovely stuff (100% said in Alan Partridge's voice)
