This one had a pretty pungent nose, surprisingly close to a raw spirit: Lagavulin New Make or vodka, with hospitals and chlorine adding to the somewhat clinical feeling. A few citrusy vibes were also felt: orange oil, lemon meringue and roast fennel turning up to say hi. It's a mystery malt, but it was keenly thought to be a young Lagavulin, Laphroaig at a push, with seaweed coming through strongly. Almonds, billtong and a beef super noodles packet once empty gave a few savoury notes whilst chocolate brought a reach sweetness. Once all that was processed, silage came along to put an end to things. I'M A VEGETABRUH!

The taste made most say "obviously Islay" (as if the packaging hadn't give that away) although some felt it wasn't as exciting or deep as it could be - with one saying it just made them want a official-release Lagavulin. There was a chili heat and a liquid version of a log fire, but still lacking in feistiness - not angry nor a stampy Burlesque dancer. It was deemed great value for Islay, and some interesting tastes gave it a wee edge: toothpaste, tangerine, TCP and crème caramel. More unusually, we finally picked up hints of the aftertaste of a polystyrene cup you've had soup in and when you chew a pencil and get through to the lead..

Unusually for such a dram, we thought this had a medium-short finish - a stone's throw or the first plop of a skimmer - with a slightly watered-down ending. There were bananas, TCP and orange squash whilst things got slightly wackier with the introduction of cardamom tea, smoked mackerel and driftwood.
