Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 라가불린 1991 빈티지의 1st 필 셰리 버트가 만든 묵직한 훈연과 건자두, 가죽 향이 두드러진다. 26년 숙성이 빚어낸 셰리와 피트의 결합이 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 51.7도에서 흑설탕과 마른 피트, 다크 초콜릿의 균형이 단단하다. 캐스크스 오브 디스팅션 보틀링다운 깊은 보디가 발전한다. 피니시는 짭조름한 훈연과 시가, 가죽이 길게 이어진다. 라가불린의 셰리 캐스크 정점이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
superb! A walk in the woods after a tropical storm (soon everywhere on this planet), with pine cones, mushrooms, moss, bark, rotting wood, pine needles… Really very lovely, just not very Lagavulin, but I suppose that isn’t what’s important. With water: more of all that. Some very well-composed old pipe tobacco, perhaps by Mr. Dunhill himself. I find this earthiness pretty stunning
restaurant Palate
rather extraordinary, huge, even aggressive, ridden with sharp citrus juices, saps and resinous oils, and this Jerezian dryness that leads to leather, walnuts and roasted pecans. Big stuff. With water: it is rough whisky, do not expect something well-polished and civilised. There are even sour meats and some bizarre fruits (I shall not mention durian… too late!)
timer Finish
very long, sour and sweet, and bitter at the same time, unbalanced, kind of muddled, and yet just top-notch. The aftertaste is rather more medicinal
