Macallan and Lagavulin are two single malts from different Scotch regions, not a score. Macallan is Speyside. Lagavulin is Islay. The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Years Old US shop prints 43% / 750 ml (prior this project). Lagavulin 16 Year Old is 43% on Diageo/Malts product tiles — official malts.com not fetched here; read that neck. A 1.5-ounce pour at 43% is 1.08 NIAAA drinks. Peat smoke is a process, not a legal type. No winner or MSRP.
