Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
I think this is much more farmy than other recent batches, at least at first nosing. Rubber boots, manure, sausages, dried mushrooms, butter, sweat… Then more coastal notes indeed, seaweed, winkles… Then more soot and more… smoked sausages. A very bizarre one methinks…
restaurant Palate
indeed it’s different. Starts very earthy and rooty, kind of meaty again (cured ham) before the expected smoky/peaty and orangey notes start to unfold. It’s quite grassy too, tarry as usual, a little salty… And there, the sausages! No, no one is cooking sausages in the house just know (just in case you were wondering)
timer Finish
we’re much closer to the ‘classical’ Lagavulin DEs now, with more salt, brine, peat, oranges and liquorice
