Tasting Notes

Nose

Subdued peat smoke, fruit cake, pear, green apple, ripe banana, citrus zest, lemongrass — more fruit-forward than the 16

Palate

Robust peat with creamy, soft mouthfeel — butter tartlets, brine, malt sweetness — clean and approachable for Lagavulin

Finish

Lingering sweetness dancing with cigar ash and peppercorn — medium-long, the Ron Swanson seal of approval

First Impressions

Lagavulin Offerman Edition — Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson) collaborates with his favourite distillery. Multiple editions exist. 11 years, 46%.

Tasting

Fruit cake and peat nose. Creamy palate with butter tartlets and brine. Cigar ash finish with peppercorn. More fruit-forward than the 16.

The Verdict

Lagavulin Offerman earns an 8 — a worthy companion to the classic 16, offering more fruit complexity at £62. Ron Swanson's taste is impeccable. The celebrity collaboration that actually works.
