A friend showed me a good one to try. He puts ice cubes in his glass, swirls it around a few time until the ice starts to melt and moisture collects on the inside of the glass. He then dumped the ice out and pours the scotch in and swirls it around.

And for the purist out there he makes his ice cubes from natural spring water.

Lagavulin 16 is anything but smooth, it's very aggressive, oily, salty, grassy, hints of iodine, and above all, loaded with smoky, peaty flavors! It's a wonderful classic for what it is!!!

Agree too!

The single malts used to create the Blue Blend are a little short on Islays (which includes Lagavulin)
