Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 셰리 버트가 1991년 라가불린을 30년 동안 진하게 길들인 결과가 잔 안에 짙게 자리한다. 향에서는 짙은 훈연과 다크 체리, 묵은 가죽이 또렷이 드러나고 캐스크의 흔적인 발사믹 같은 산미가 뒤따른다. 입에서는 잿불과 무화과 잼, 정향의 진한 단맛이 입을 묵직하게 채운다. 44.3도의 알코올이 셰리와 훈연의 균형을 단단히 받치며 짙은 마호가니색이 잔에 깊게 비친다.

it's funny how our minds work, I'm reminded of another Lagavulin that I last tried in 2007 (!), a fairly musty yet very impressive NAS spring cap rotation 1958. Chinese mushrooms, old kettle, old coins, metal polish, old toolbox, old stove, various bouillons, soups and broths, cigars and coffees, mead, suet, marrow, a little paraffin, pu-her again, mint sauce, even lamb, raw chocolate, dried kelp on a beach at low tide… And so on! Long story short, the impression that this is a pretty old bottle
restaurant Palate
takes a few seconds to find some kind of equilibrium on your palate, then unloads loads of secondary and tertiary flavours, including the expected walnut wine from the sherries. Mushrooms, precious black teas, tobaccos, dried meats, embrocations, old balms, polishes, spices (subtle turmeric and caraway), clams and affiliated shellfish, old waxes, old bottles of triple-sec and various herbal cordials… And old sherry, both dry ones and sweet ones. Perhaps some old cream, dulce, V.O.R.S…
timer Finish
medium to long, this time a little more on citrus and chocolate. Umami sauce, honey meat glazing, chocolate and yuzu, there
