Thanks to /u/shane_il  for this sample!

When is a Lagavulin not a Lagavulin? When it’s bottled by an Independent Bottler, that’s when.

Also when it’s a gimlet. Oh, wait, that’s a different joke for /r/ginor the manic crazies at /r/vodka.

Lagavulin doesn’t let you put their name on whisky that you, an IB, brings out. That’s what I’m saying.

So I’m about to review a Lagavulin that doesn’t say Lagavulin anywhere. And I only know it’s Lagavulin because of internet rumors. Classic of Islay 2015 is brought out by a German independent bottler named Jack Wiebers Whisky World. The rumors is that this is Lagavulin juice that has been aged in ex-sherry.

So, how old is this? We don’t know. What kind of casks? Rumor says Ex-Sherry Casks. Does that mean I’ll babble on and ask questions to fill time? You bet your sweet and sour ass it…
