Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌리면 2008년 라가불린이 옅은 황금빛을 잔 벽에 입힌다. 코끝에 가져가면 라가불린 특유의 진한 피트와 타르, 요오드가 리쥬버네이트 캐스크의 바닐라 단맛과 함께 강하게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 56.1도의 기운이 입을 채우며 훈연한 베이컨과 짭조름한 소금, 검은 후추가 거칠게 번진다. 천천히 삼키면 아일라다운 묵직한 재와 피트가 혀 깊숙이 길게 따라온다.
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
