Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 아메리칸 오크에서 21년을 보낸 짙은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 따라 미끄러진다. 코를 가져가면 1997년산 라가불린 특유의 진한 피트 스모크와 바닷내가 가장 먼저 떠오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 56.6 도수의 두꺼운 질감이 혀를 가득 채운다. 옅은 토피와 훈제 가죽, 짭조름한 미네랄이 차례로 따라온다. 삼킨 뒤에는 라가불린 시그니처 피트가 길게 이어진다.

Angus already tried this one for little Whiskyfun and liked it mucho. But Angus is Angus. Fern, sorrel, green peppercorns, paraffin, old leather and old books, manzanilla, mustard, fresh walnuts, a large bag of cider apples, and green cigars like they have in Indonesia. A very peculiar smell. Or there, a pack of bidîes and some kind of greener incense. Love this. With water: our usual old tweed jacket, our fresh croissants, and just the right amount of rainwater in a large city. New York, London, Berlin, Tokyo, Moscow, Paris, Turckheim…

so tense, chiseled, blade-y, peppery, almost chili-like… You could pour this over fajitas! It’s really raw and almost aggressive, but you would just let it. Acidic Luwak coffee. A fighter of a Laga, I would say. With water: careful with water, Lagavulin’s always very sensitive to water and would change a lot even with one tiny drop. In this very case, I would say water’s unnecessary, as it would get a little too sweetish
timer Finish
very long, perfect when undiluted
