Lagavulin 9 years Game of Thrones House Lannister

Score: 62

It’s peat-forward and proud, with that signature Lagavulin punch—bonfire smoke, salty caramel, and a bit of burnt toffee. You get a hit of vanilla and charred oak, like someone torched dessert on purpose and it somehow worked. Not as deep or brooding as the 16, but it’s got attitude—young, loud, and not here to make friends. Some folks at tastings call it “Lagavulin Lite,” but honestly? It’s more like the younger cousin who shows up in leather, kicks the door open, and still manages to charm your gran.
