Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 호박빛이 잔에 잠겨 있다. 라가불린이 세컨드필 만자니야 셰리 캐스크에서 18년을 보낸 뒤 마스터 디스틸러 이언의 페어웰 드램 라인으로 58.7도의 카스크 스트렝스에 병입된 한정 보틀이다. 향에는 묵은 피트, 짭조름한 해풍, 옅은 견과류가 서로 얽혀 떠오르며 만자니야 특유의 짭조름함과 라가불린 피트의 깊이가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 훈연과 견과류가 묵직하게 흐른다. 여운에는 피트와 미네랄의 잔향이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this is huge. There’s a pronounced ‘sulphurous’ quality that isn’t actually sulphur, if you catch my drift. A freshly extinguished beach fire, white truffles from Piedmont, green walnuts (thank you, manzanilla), wild mushrooms, whiffs of pickles in brine, and heaps of seaweed. Again, the fruit is incredibly discreet. With water: no changes whatsoever
restaurant Palate
for a 2nd fill, there’s still quite a lot of manzanilla influence, which is just as well—we’re fans of manzanilla, especially when En Rama. So, seawater, chalk, walnuts, mustard, radishes, oysters, and an avalanche of ashes. Dazzling, though this style does tend to divide opinions. Buying a bottle doesn’t exactly entitle you to master this liquid, does it? With water: again, little change. Perhaps even more smoked oysters and a true punch of salt, or more accurately, salinity
timer Finish
monstrously long. Salt, olives, vinegar, oysters, mustard, cigar ash, ‘sulphur’, and walnuts. Dry as a bone, with absolutely zero sweetness—there’s more sugar in a piece of granite
