Member Ratings and Notes
Dave
 
Sweet medicinal iodine with nice campfire smokes.  Deeply sweet with a metalic earthy/dirty element.  Finish is short and fleeting.  It gets a B+ but just barely. 
Mike
 
Nose is gauze and iodine, seems rather Laphroaig-like. Palate is malt and caramel.  Finish is quick and a little bitter. OK. 
Chris
 
Less impressive than the other Lagavulin DE's.  Smoky, sweet, and medicinal, as expected, but the sherry finish in this case seems to have killed some of the complexity that makes Lagavulin great.   
Andy
 
Buttered lobster.  Long green finish.  A-/B+  
JC
 
Smotth, like apple juice.
Flat, sure, but still pretty good.
