Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 또렷이 빛난다. 아일라의 명가 라가불린이 리필 아메리칸 오크에서 12년을 보낸 이 보틀링은 짙은 훈연과 바다 내음, 시트러스의 향을 강렬하게 피워 올린다. 56.4도의 힘찬 도수가 입안을 타고 그을린 보리와 짭조름한 단맛을 거세게 밀어붙인다. 캐스크 스트렝스 라가불린다운 마무리는 매캐한 연기와 소금기로 길게 타오른다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
more or less what I was actually expecting, many aromas overlap, especially the salty, coastal, rooty and olive-y sides. Which generates an increased feeling of 'smoked olive brine' to which we are absolutely not opposed. With water: no, chalk, rocks, slate, wool, smoky porridge…
restaurant Palate
I'd have never said this was premixed with tequila. A lot of brine, seawater, olives, gherkins, samphires, oyster plant, then pickled plums and small lemons, while it is getting a little more syrupy over the minutes. Iodine and plasticine are there too. With water: frankly sweeter, but that can be very Lagavulin too. We're also somewhat reminded of the Italian olive liqueurs, which they make for example around the Lago de Garda if I remember well
timer Finish
long, very Lagavulin, very briny
