Online tasting note for reference:

Nose
Ripe orchard fruits with a deep sooty and white pepper note, pecan pie with earthy digestive biscuit base, mossy peat, pudding wine grapes and sultana with a rock pool and charred seaweed note. Some coal tar and dark chocolate creep in along with some lime pickle and white nougart. Water brings out a more floral influence but no mistaking this is one of the most elegant noses of any Islay let alone Lagavulin in many a year.

Palate
Peppery lime pickle, more ripe orchard fruits and pudding wine (botrytis) like influence. Waxy citrus and some chilli flake and ginger in runny honey. A sweeter peat smoke and some late charred seaweed note.

Finish
Black and white pepper on toffee peacan pie, ripe apricot and sweet pudding wine grapes. Sweet tarry caol tar smoke (honey on bbq soot) spicy ginger and chocolate limes. Long!
