Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남부 해안 라가불린은 깊고 기름진 피트로 섬을 대표하는 증류소인데, 아르마냑 캐스크에서 마무리한 이 페스 일라 2023 한정 보틀링은 그 묵직한 훈연 위에 포도 브랜디의 단맛을 겹쳤다. 잔에는 짙은 호박빛이 감돌고, 코에는 모닥불 연기와 바다 소금, 잘 익은 자두의 향이 묵직하게 솟는다. 58.4도의 입안에서는 진한 피트와 건포도, 옅은 탄닌이 서로 부딪치며 흐른다. 라가불린다운 깊은 훈연이 끝까지 이어지며, 여운은 짭조름한 재와 포도의 단맛이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
you can actually feel it. There is some grapiness, some wine reduction, a feeling of damson and 'vieille prune', this very peculiar earthiness, while Lagavulin seems to have become gentler, certainly less smoky than usual, but then again, water may put things to right. With water: Lagavulin! Au revoir armagnac, it's been nice meeting you. Seawater, cigars, new tyres, leather, etc
restaurant Palate
once again, a feeling of meta-blend, of salty armagnac, of grapey peater… It is absolutely not unpleasant, not at all, you just have the impression that you're rowing in the middle of the Atlantic. So that's not exactly 'a sense of the place', is it. Terroir? Can the addition of two terroirs make a terroir? With water: good one, once again the brandy bowed out. Salty marmalade, tobacco, seawater, liquorice, peat smoke, smoked kippers…
timer Finish
long, better with a little water. Pepper coming out, bay leaf, mustard and black olives in the aftertaste. Back of the aftertaste being more medicinal
