Little too smoky for my palet, but I am a beginner

Krista, Jan 20, 2021

Smoky flavor with a smooth ending. Solid choice for an evening drink.

Jason, Jan 19, 2021

Lots of smoke up front but it mellows out and has a solid flavor.

Joe, Jan 17, 2021

Not quite as smoky but more wood and burn than 16

Robert, Jan 16, 2021

I’ve had Islay single malt before, but none exploded in my mouth with such a peaty flavor like this. A little too overpowering for my taste.

Josh, Jan 14, 2021

heavy on the smokey notes, yet still pretty smooth. I'm not sure this would be my first choice of a scotch, but I would enjoy this again.

David, Jan 13, 2021

Pretty smoky for me but still a smooth drink.

Andrew, Jan 10, 2021

The nose is much smokier than the first taste, and then before you know it you’re into a slew of other flavors, none of which are overly bold. I was very pleased with how smooth it went down, but was looking for a little more bite at the end. This was my first Lagavulin and will not be my last.

Garrett, Jan 9, 2021

As someone who prefers a more smokey, or savory scotch, this one was a bit too sweat for my taste. The marshmallow was a touch overpowering and left a sugary coating in my mouth. It had a bit of peat, but not enough to balance the sweetness. I give it 7 stars, because it's not a terrible scotch, it's just not quite to my taste.

Austin, Jan 7, 2021

Tastes like making out with winter green grizzly chew

David, Jan 6, 2021

Terrible bottle

David, Jan 6, 2021

Tastes like someone distilled scotch. Ran it through a campfire and put it in a bottle.

Miguel, Jan 5, 2021

Smokey Seafood

MICHAEL, Jan 3, 2021

Rich in peat and smoke. Could be a first drink of the night, but the second. Very bold and packs a punch. I usually prefer something smoother.

James, Jan 2, 2021

I'm still new to the smoky side of scotch and fell in love with this one. On the nose you get a campfire on the beach. Taste is phenomenal. A little smoky with a sweet finish. Will definitely keep a spare bottle or two around.

James, Dec 29, 2020

Nice dram and an excellent value if you are looking for a fuller dry smoke. Smoke, ash, burnt sugars, and slightly medicinal with a long finish. I prefer the roundness of some other Isla whiskies such as, Arbeg An Oa, and Cao Ila 12 to this one but again its all in what you are looking for.

Tom, Dec 29, 2020

A classic Lagavulin, with all the hallmarks of the best a smoky peaty whiskey has to offer.

Owen, Nov 22, 2020

Smoke and peat but not overwhelming.

Jose, Nov 21, 2020

Lagavulin indeed, has all the smokey peat you’d expect + a nice add to the GoT collection

Robert, Oct 20, 2020

This is an exceptional Islay. Sweet smoke and balanced peat, ash and fruit.

Forrest, Oct 20, 2020

Not quite as complex as the Offerman or the 16 year, but it has its own distinctive taste. More caramel and almost some peppercorn or something (can’t quite place it). At the ridiculously good price I paid ($40) it was a steal. Still worth it in the $70s.

guest, Aug 16, 2020

Incredibly smokey, but really good Especially good with some water drops in there

mark, Jul 22, 2020

Not as much peat as I would have expected from Lagavulin with this age statement. Really it is just as much but with a smoother profile. A bit of water helps to wake it up even more.

Robert, May 8, 2020

Really enjoyed this bottle. I am a huge fan of peat.

Ryan, Apr 20, 2020

Just not my thing. I can't taste much outside the peat. So aromatic, I have to move slowly into the glass. Too aggressive for my tastes.

Ryan, Apr 12, 2020

Very powerful intense burn at the go, takes you by surprise And was difficult to taste anything else. But the longer it sits on the palate the more you taste and the flavors come out. Will take longer to get used to but definitely going to sip on this

Piotr, Apr 1, 2020

Really good! Strong and powerful. A bit peaty, too less to my personal taste, but still excellent.

Kyle, Mar 20, 2020

This whiskey could define balance. Honey, Vanilla, caramel, salt, and peat. One note I saw I can't stop thinking of : burnt marshmallow. I haven't had much of Lagavulin, but this 9 year old was readily available at the local store. Maybe paid a little more for the branding than I'd like but I have no regrets. Once it's empty I will definitely buy a 16. Terrific stuff.

Ray, Mar 19, 2020

Smoky with hints of banana, caramel, and vanilla. The smoke and spice linger. Not too bad.

Todd, Jan 14, 2020

Aroma is deep and inviting, nice smoke, smooth, rich, some sweetness. The smoke seems a bit musty for lack of a better word. The taste is good, seems richer and more buttery than other Lagavulin Scotch, but the smoke seems more like Johnnie Walker Black, where it's a bit ashy and dusty. A dash of water seems to tone down the sweetness and brings out the ash a bit more, I think it's better straight. I could see some people enjoying this, but for me it feels like a step back a little from other Lagavulins.

Alex, Dec 31, 2019

If you’re into the Smokey scotches...come no further! The smoke, pepper, and spice of this one reign supreme. It’s an excellent whisky and fitting tribute to the coat of gold, a coat of red, reminding the drinking the lion still has claws...

Liz, Dec 11, 2019

Banana that leads into burn with a dry mouth feel

Burton, Jul 28, 2019

Variety in nose and palate for an Islay. Subdued peat and smoke levels room for vanilla and sweet notes. Great balance.

Vanessa, Jun 6, 2019

I wish I could review this product but it’s been over a month since I bought and there is no update on the tracking number nor have I received the bottle. I’m pretty disappointed

guest, Jun 3, 2019

Smoky, peaty and relatively smooth. A good sipping scotch that reminds me of how GoT ends

KayDee, May 1, 2019

I love the smokiness this has

Zack, Apr 30, 2019

pretty tasty very similar to the other Lagavulin 9 this is a fantastic drink with a smooth smoky finish good caramel and banana notes as well

Abhijeet, Apr 22, 2019

Smokey with smooth finish

Luis, Apr 20, 2019

Very smooth.

Michael, Apr 19, 2019

Absolutely love this one

Dat, Apr 16, 2019

Hear this Lagavulin roar! I like it! In fact, I was skeptical of the 9 year old because I have had the 16 year old before (years ago), and I didn't like it then. I felt the peat was overpowering on the 16. But lo and behold, the 9 year-old is quite wonderful. The peat is not overpowering, and the smokiness is just right. The finish is quite smooth and luscious. I should have bought more of these bottles when they were readily available for $65. But now I see some places selling this bottle for $200 or more. Ouch!

Jerry, Apr 15, 2019

Smoother and more flavorful than other Islay scotches I have tasted. May be my new favorite.

Will, Apr 13, 2019

Almost as good as 16 year old

Eric, Feb 2, 2019

I really enjoyed it. First islay I have had. I felt like it made me mature to understand the taste and the complexity. Great buy. If you can find it buy it.

Eric, Jan 31, 2019

Really great. Very smooth. If you can find it; buy it.

Alex, Jan 21, 2019

Really nice! I don't watch GOT, but I like me some Lagavulin. So I got it (at retail) and feel like it was a great deal. Somewhere between the 8 and 16, to me it's more on the 16 side. Feels more mature than the 8, but not as refined as the 16.

Daniel, Jan 10, 2019

Almost as good as 16 year old. Nice change of pace with some less matured whisky.

Tyson, Jan 8, 2019

You will feel classy drinking it. Very rich and intense, with a sophisticated finish. Smokey but many other tones lurking in the smoke. It feels like a great match for house Lannister.

Mark, Dec 25, 2018

Not as good as the 16-Year, but it is an excellent Islay.

Jasson, Nov 24, 2018

The 4th of the series that I've managed to find, and I love it. Islay fans will be pleased with this dram. Smoke on the nose, but not too thick. Perhaps a bit imposing on the tongue - but it is a 9 year-old, and clocks in at 46%...so that's to be expected. Vanilla and smoke, to be sure. And that signature islay finish - smokiness and salt air.
