Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 안에 짙은 호박빛이 또렷이 깃든다. 라가불린 18년이 페시 일레 2016 한정판으로 아메리칸 오크와 유러피언 보데가 셰리 캐스크에서 숙성된 결과물이다. 코끝에는 짠 훈연과 마른 자두, 옅은 가죽 향이 한 겹씩 풀린다. 입에서는 흑설탕과 식어가는 모닥불, 정향이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 49.5도의 도수가 단단한 골격을 세운다. 여운에는 짠 연기와 마른 베리가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
aww… Verbena? Yellow chartreuse? Citron liqueur? It’s very complex, much less ‘in your face’ than other newish bottlings, with a wine quality to it, Montrachet style. Limestone, flints, new fabric, carbon paper (not sure that rings a bell to the younger part of our distinguished audience), barnyard, smoked salmon, homemade custard… Then rather whelks-and-brown-bread-and-butter, this raw wool that I’m often finding in Lagavulin… And some fresh mint! I’m surprised. Positively surprised
restaurant Palate
oh get out of here! Brilliant citrusy, mentholated, smoky, and coastal style, with something that reminds me of a very old Lagavulin NAS spring cap that we opened around ten years ago in Belgium. Gets then more peppery, grassy, gritty, and wild
timer Finish
extremely long, peppery and smoky, the beauty turned into a beast. A lot of green tea and lime in the aftertaste. And more green pepper in the after-aftertaste!
