This is far better than my Lagavulin tour! I didn't get to have the Ian McArthur experience... Now that I watch this, I don't remember ever going into that warehouse. We just had a taste of core expressions in that visitor center at the beginning of your video...

I know I'm a late comer on this post but I've got to say this sure looks like a rip of fun and those pours during the tasting look damn generous! It seems miraculous everyone got out of there in one piece. I also appreciate your comment on the water addition while tasting. I find a touch of water very revelatory with cask strength whisky. Nice to get a glimpse of mum and dad too. Cheers!

Hi Aladdin. The pours are generous enough although they are half size Glencairns so probably not as big as you thought. We always save half for later into mini bottles as it always too much :-)

I've had the opportunity to do this tasting twice, both with Ian, in 2017 and 2019. In November 2019 the group was only 4 people and we had a little extra time if Ian. If you do have the chance to do this, I'd recommend going off-season (Oct-Nov) so you have less people in the group. Ian will hit 50 years at Lagavulin next summer (2020) and is supposed to retire, but he admitted he is not sure he will.

This is great - I feel super lucky to have had such a small group when we were there now! I did take a bit of a ribbing as the only English guy there though haha 😜 I'm not sure what's worse ... whisky thrown on the floor or whisky diluted with cola 🤔 on the floor by a small margin i guess 😉 Does 'bodega' cask actually mean anything? My understanding is it's like saying a 'cooperage' cask ... I wonder if it is some of the sacrificial sherry casks that are going around.

Wow looks like they try to blow your palate right out of the gate w the 19yr at such a high strength. I guess they just don't want to waste time getting the party started. Another great vid. Looked like a lot of fun. 🥃

Ian McArthur is a HOOT! I did the warehouse tasting when I visited in June 2018 and got "baptized" by Ian McArthur with whisky! I've got two Jazz Festival bottles from 2018 and two Feis Ile as well.

@@WhiskyMystery oh sorry some parts were so noisy (too many people not listening to Iain) that I skipped a few seconds here n there will watch it again then...But yeah to be honest Laga 16 & Coke (50/50) is a "cocktail" recommended by no less than Dave Broom (great Scottish whisky writer) who experimented 50 whiskies with 5 different drinks mixed in & reported the results in a book called "The Manual" a few years ago...but I haven't dare to do it yet..

It's a shame how super cold those drams are, how inept the wee glass is for smelling, and how quickly they make you knock it back. But a nice experience with the old fella nonetheless.

True. No chance of 20 mins in the glass. Makes it worth taking the sample bottles to try them later with more time. It was still fun.
