Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 속에서 맑게 빛난다. 아일라의 라가불린을 리필 아메리칸 오크에서 12년 길러내 캐스크 스트렝스로 담은 이 2012년 스페셜 릴리스는 날것의 강렬한 피트를 드러낸다. 코끝에는 거센 토탄 연기와 바다 소금, 레몬의 향이 겹겹이 번지고 입에서는 그을린 보리와 후추, 요오드의 기운이 두껍게 입을 채운다. 56.1도의 여운에는 재와 짭조름한 연기가 굵고 길게 이어진다.
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
