- Episode 607. Nick Offerman is basically my hero. He clealry loves Scotch and has so much fun promoting this or other Lagavulin releases. How does this stack up? Solid. Clean, very sweet and would hold up on a summer day. What do you think? #offerman #lagavulin #whiskyneighbour

Another great comparison… new Offerman is great summer dram!
Cheers 🥃
I got a bottle of the 4th edition coming my way and your review has got me looking forward to it. I am especially happy to hear your mention about a great summer dram. Thanks for sharing Jon. Cheers!
This is good Scotch for sure, and if you like peat in summer, I think it's a hit! Cheers!
Nick Offerman is a modern day Renaissance man. Master Carpenter, actor, author, whisky lover and hy all accounts a genuinely decent human being. Great tasting notes on this one Jon, i am fully in agreement about the summer dram aspect of this. I think this could have easily become unbalanced with too much more time in rum casks. The initial maturation in bourbon/sherry casks helps balance this and saves the experience. Great review Neighbour! 🥃
@whiskyonthewestcoast I agree, as I said, a hero of mine for sure! For peat in summer, this would be a favorite. Cheers!
Hello Jon. This is a great review and it's super cool to see both side by side comparison. I agree that the 4th release is a good summer dram. I think this one could make a delicious and refreshing whisky highball. Cheers to a great summer🥃
Thanks again James! I could really see how the 4th could be a favourite for some. It's good, but I enjoyed the Charred Oak a little more.
Offerman-less here. Just never picked it up even though definitely a Lagavulin fan, chill filtration and E150 be darned. Love the stuff, regardless. Will undoubtedly get a chance to try a dram of one of these expressions at some stage. Both sound good, especially the charred oak.
Ah, that video! Absolute classic. Nick O/Ron S, gazing sternly and intently at the camera as if hanging on the viewer's every word, expression, or thought. Nothing else in the universe but him, a roaring fire, you...and that Lag 16.
However, did you know that there is a 10 1/2 hour version? Yes, yes there is. Seriously, I kid you not!
By the way, gotta say, if you recreated a 45 minute spinoff/spoof I'd absolutely watch it.
Don't think I'd be able to help myself! 🤣🤣
Here's to a lazy Sunday...after the yard work is done. ☕☕

LOL! I am aware there is a 10 1/2 version, but I have never watched it. I did whatch the 45 and enjoyed every minute. As you say .. his stare is priceless! I hope that lazy afternoon finds you. Cheers!
@@WhiskyNeighbour And it has 1.1 Million views! That's 10 1/2 hours I'll never get...
No, wait! I meant...all of those OTHER people will never get back! 😶
@@onewomanswhisky LOL! That was well said!
Joel is comparing the Laphroaig 10 today and this Lagavulin. He gets a lot of brine and smoke too. This is a terrific summer Islay although I could have it all year. I didn’t get much rim. The charred oak is our fave Offerman!!
@christinecamley Cool he picked up some brine as well!
@@WhiskyNeighbour 🙂
Nice on Jon! I really enjoyed all the Offermans released. My list would be, #1 Charred Oak #2 Rum Cask #3 Guinness Cask #4 First Release. Cheers Jon 🥃
@thewhiskyenthusiast great order! I might put Guiness ahead of Rum, but I don't have it on the shelf, so hard to recall. Thanks for sharing!
I admit I bought a case!! I love the 3rd Edition the most but this one is right behind it! Love it! I am not usually a lover of rum casking! Interesting thoughts Jon! Did Offerman contribute to this distilling? Your Edmonton colleague who makes great whisky videos did a 45 min video! It’s 119 before taxes here. The case was cheaper!! Cheers!! 🍻
@christinecamley Dolph? Wow, I'll have to go watch! Also, glad you found a case!
@@WhiskyNeighbour Yes!! Lol! Dolph was fabulous! You will love the video!! Jon you have to make one too!! 🙂
Wow 100CAN that’s about £58 here, this is 90 in our market so I never got tempted, what a great price in your market! I’m totally with you on rum finishes after a Smokehead that I’ve got (riot) it just didn’t work for me yet on their other (rebel) I enjoyed it but I’m unsure whether I’d blind buy a rum finish for good money anymore. Out of the two I think I’d go for the charred oak too although i really wish I’d gotten my hands on the stout cask they did, cheers!
Rum finishes seem to be popular right now. This one is good, and I think many people really enjoy it. If I wanted a peated cocktail, this just might be it! I wish you had too and I wish we both had the whole line. That woudl be great to shoot! Prices are all over the place. I know consumption of whisky is significantly down here, so that might be driving the price on a few releases. Thanks for dropping in!
I got charred oysters, that Lagavulin smoke that grabs me big time and charred pineapple. I didn’t find it too sweet’
@christinecamley Charred pineapple! Yes that is certainly there
Their 8 year old tasted like raw spirit and some black tea. It was a strong no buy for me. I like the charred iak 11 year old, but the 16 is so good.
16 is still a favourite, but the price has made it very hard to keep on the shelf. I got a bit more flavour out of the 8 year, but agree with enjoying the Charred Oak.
@@WhiskyNeighbour it actually dropped $20 a bottle here in Ontario. For a while it was$145. Then it kept creeping up until it reached $185. Now, it's $165.
I think it’s just bourbon and rum but I need to double check. I think I get a lot more brine and smoke!
@@christinecamley I was getting the brine, I would also agree with your charred pineapple note.
@@WhiskyNeighbour Hey you have a sophisticated palette so I am thrilled you picked up the charred pineapple!! 🙂
