Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔에 맑게 어린다. 12년을 보낸 라가불린은 아일라 남부의 강렬하고 정제된 피트로 이름난 증류소다. 리필 아메리칸 오크에서 온 짙은 훈연과 바닷소금, 레몬의 향이 선명하게 피어오른다. 56.5도의 카스크 스트렝스답게 한 모금은 매캐한 연기와 보리 단맛, 후추가 힘차게 입을 채운다. 디아지오 스페셜 릴리스로 병입된 이 보틀링은 재와 소금기의 잔향을 길게 끌어간다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
I agree the 2020 is a little sweeter and fruitier, whilst this one is just a blade that cuts you in half as Uma Thurman would in Kill Bill. Smoked mercurochrome, concrete dust, porridge, cigar ashes. Well well well, we’re extremely far from the 16 and the SR 2020 almost feels like tangerine juice now (of course I exaggerate)… With water: grist, tincture of iodine, elastoplast, charcoal
restaurant Palate
the differences are a little less obvious on the palate, but this is more pungent indeed, more mineral, creosote-y, with lemons that are greener than those in the 2019. Sends shivers in your spine, I’m thinking of the driest dry chenins. With water: more greenness. Do they make green lapsang souchong too?
timer Finish
long, very dry and ashy. Cold cigar ashes – I agree, better have them cold
