Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 1980년 보틀링된 라가불린 15년 화이트 호스 세라믹 저그 특유의 짙은 해변 피트와 마른 해초의 향이 가장 먼저 명확하게 드러난다. 15년 숙성된 캐스크의 영향이 잘 익은 자두와 가죽의 구조로 발전하며 45도의 절제된 강도로 균형감이 단단하다. 팰럿은 진한 훈제 베이컨과 약초 향이 입천장을 묵직하게 덮고 셰리 캐릭터가 정연하게 드러난다. 피니시는 길고 후반에 짠 미네랄과 옅은 향신료가 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
bang-bang! Most probably as punchy as it was thirty years ago, very peaty and smoky, dry, beautifully austere (drier than more recent official Lagavulins), with a lot of peat smoke, tarry rope, bitter herbs, Barbour grease and brand new tyres. Loads of shoe polish as well, a little burnt caramel, cut flowers (not quite vase water), apple peelings… Austere indeed and much less fruity, medicinal or coastal than its well-known neighbours, even if there is a little camphor coming through after a while (evolving peat). Also hints of passion fruits after fifteen minutes, and then metal polish (OBE) and olive oil after thirty minutes
restaurant Palate
holy featherless crow! Perfect combination of many resinous notes (putty, pine resin, natural rubber) with a fine liquoricy/tarry smokiness and many crystallised or dried fruits, such as kumquats, oranges or lemons. Gets then very salty (maybe this one was matured on Islay?) and more kippery than the usual Lagavulin (but can Lagavulin be usual?) Exceptional whisky
timer Finish
long, magnificently fruity and resinous (kumquats again)
