Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
돈 훌리오 아녜호 테킬라 캐스크에서 마무리한 12년이 이 라가불린의 강한 연기에 이색적인 결을 더한다. 코끝에는 짙은 장작 연기와 바닷소금, 옅은 아가베의 달큰함이 먼저 다가온다. 입에서는 그을린 숯과 후추에 테킬라의 풀향과 단맛이 묵직하게 더해지며 56.4도의 힘이 강하게 번진다. 옅은 황금빛 너머로 재와 연기의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
orgeat syrup, lemon preserve, seawater, damp wool, wee touches of tar and smoked salmon, though the whole ensemble strikes me as very mild, very kind, nearly harmless for Lagavulin. With water: more tincture of iodine, Mercurochrome, oysters. Phew!
restaurant Palate
pronounced sweetness, perhaps that’s the PX at play? Once again this jammy profile, plum preserve, then more green pepper and dried seaweed, so all in all we’re firmly back on Islay. With water: still sweet, but the DNA is clearly there, even if it’s rather swaddled in softness. One is reminded a little of gentian liqueur
timer Finish
fairly long, a little more peppery, though still on the sweet side. More ashes towards the back
