” The Diageo Special Releases are not known to be bargains, but this Lagavulin is sensibly priced, and the greatest all-around value from the 2017 lineup.” – Gavin Smith, Whisky Advocate (94 Points)
” Perhaps a slightly simpler and sweeter one, but we keep flying very high with these little 12s.” – Serge, Whisky Fun (90 Points)
” … Something very special indeed. As mouth feels go, this is just about perfect. I think whisky like this was invented by the whisky gods to be experienced at full strength. Even people who do not regard themselves as peat lovers are likely to be seduced by this one. Talk about controlled power.” – Jim Murray, Whisky Bible (96 Points)
