Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밝은 황금빛이 잔에 또렷하게 어린다. 아메리칸 호그스헤드에서 익은 라가불린 12년은 디아지오 스페셜 릴리스다운 강렬함으로 짙은 연기 위로 레몬과 바닐라, 짭조름한 바다 내음을 얹는다. 56.5도의 힘찬 술이 입을 채우며 그을린 오크와 흑설탕, 잿빛 훈연의 결이 진하게 드러난다. 거칠고 강렬한 피트가 또렷하고, 연기와 광물의 여운이 길고 강하게 남는다.
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
