SV: "Lg2 (58%, Specialty Drinks, Elements of Islay, 2010) Four stars and a half Lg1 was excellent so we have high expectations here. Colour: white wine. Nose: it’s a slightly drier and more vanilled version. More custard, more smoked tea as well, more farmy notes (horse saddle, leather, hay) and more smoked and salted fish. Maybe a little less ‘Lagavulin’ than the official Lagavulin, which would make sense. With water: certainly wilder than the OB, more animal, sootier as well. More tar, farm (hutch), new car (interior), plastics polish… It’s really something else now. Very expressive. Mouth (neat): even sweeter than the OB now, but we’re very close globally. Extremely close. Same lemon, fructose, roots, smoke… A little cane sugar. With water: almost the same whisky as the 12. Some grapefruit juice. Finish: long, young, sweet. Hints of white rum. Comments: it’s a more austere version than Lg1 and I think I like it rather better than the latter despite its obvious youth. Slightly less ‘full’ or ‘wide’ than the OB. SGP:448 - 89 points."
