Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아메리칸 오크 캐스크에서 20년을 보낸 시간이 1997년 빈티지 라가불린의 피트를 부드럽게 다듬어 놓았다. 향은 흙내 짙은 피트와 짭조름한 바닷바람, 바닐라 크림이 동시에 풀려나고 56.1%의 캐스크 스트렝스가 입에서 시트러스 껍질과 다크 토피, 검은 코크스의 무게를 한꺼번에 끌어올린다. 셀렉트 캐스크 보틀링답게 라가불린의 정통 캐릭터가 또렷이 비친다. 잔에는 옅은 황금빛이 머물고 여운은 짠 피트와 바닐라로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
starts between kirsch and nail polish remover, goes on with melon jam and seawater, as well as muscadet and kiwis, with touches of new plastic in the background. Plastic is bad in the oceans, but it can be lovely in whisky, well that’s my opinion. Okay ‘a feeling of plastic’. With water: sour waters, muds, rugged fabric, porridge, and minimal amounts of smoke. Different indeed
restaurant Palate
reminds me of Moon Import’s In The Pink bottling. Sour apples, smoke, grapefruit juice, seawater, burnt pumpkin cake, liquorice. Not your average Lagavulin indeed. With water: lovely, and rather reminiscent of Silvano’s Longrows this time. Baker’s yeast and smoke, leaven, soot, sour lemons, mezcal… It’s getting brilliant, it’s just that it needed time
timer Finish
long, and the best part of it. Superb sooty/lemony rise to the stars, with a stunning mineral ending. Kurozawa indeed
