Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남쪽 라가불린 만의 짙은 피트 늪과 1차 사용 셰리 부트의 깊이가 27년을 관통한다. 잔에는 짙은 마호가니빛이 묵직하게 잠겨 있다. 코끝에는 훈제 자두와 광택 가죽, 다크 초콜릿, 짠 해초의 향이 두드러진다. 입에서는 셰리 단맛과 강한 피트 훈연, 흑설탕, 짠 미네랄이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 1991 라가불린 캐스크 오브 디스팅션 빈티지가 긴 훈연 셰리 여운을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
ooph, what a nose! It’s like if you watered down some 1970s Ardbeg with a few drops of 1960s Laphroaig. No offence meant. Leathery salted almonds, metal polish, old copper kettle, steel wool, tool boxes, then touches of cider apples and maracuja, mercurochrome, old antiseptics and things like that (Angus)… We agree it’s a stunning nose. With water: just amazing, elegant, delicate, wispy smoke, with some heather smoke, leather polish (stuff for Bentleys), and the best almond oil in the whole world
restaurant Palate
really very perfect. Almost tropical, with papayas and guavas (says Angus - who seems to remember some kind of cocktail he used to quaff while in Peru – well only half remembered, apparently). Lapsang souchong, angelica, Angus finds jasmine (something related to Paris, it seems), some sort of toasted pine cones… With water: probably full-term Islay-matured Lagavulin, watched over by Pinkie. Wonderful pink grapefruits
timer Finish
Angus finds some lemon infused olive oil. Olive oil, definitely. A delicate sweet tarriness. I’m finding whelks, while Angus, who’s got luxury tastes, rather finds oysters. A long finish for sure
