Lost Spirits Abomination
COLOR
Abomination has an intense dark brown color like maple syrup, Iranian tea, burnt wood, and dark cherry.
NOSE
The moderately complex nose provides subtle hints of peat, vanilla, cream, nuts, and toffee.
FLAVOR
The front-end taste is dominated by an intense denatured burning sensation, which yields faint syrup, nuts, pepper, orange peel, and salt.
FINISH
Although the finish is long, it's not very complex. It tells a tale of fire and spice followed by the lingering residue of salt.
COMMENTS
Given that this dram is 1-year Islay, probably Lagavulin, which underwent a modern biochemical aging process, it's surprisingly good, but definitely NOT AS GOOD AS LAGAVULIN 16.
