Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 안에 또렷이 비친다. 2016년 증류해 7년을 보낸 이 라가불린은 어린 나이에도 증류소 특유의 묵직한 피트가 타르와 요오드, 짭조름한 훈연으로 강렬하게 솟아오른다. 55.4도의 한 모금은 재와 후추, 옅은 단맛이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 젊은 라가불린의 거친 생기가 살아 있다. 여운은 식어가는 모닥불과 바닷소금으로 길고 진하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine, which comes as a surprise
air Nose
it is a very bright, clean, punchy young Lagavulin, rather in the style of the popular 12yo CS. Seawater, lime, lemon, hessian, cigar smoke, seaweed, oysters, whelks, razor clams, cockles, mussels, langoustines… I’m joking! With water: damp raw wool and Islay mud
restaurant Palate
exceptionally clean, crisp, lemony and smoky malt, one hundred percent spirit-driven as far as I can tell, pristine, salty, kippery… So, a blade. As often, it’s just a notch sweeter and fatter than its colleagues from the south shore, and we aren’t against that. With water: salt up, tar up, fish down. A little more austere now
timer Finish
long, with a perfect tarriness, and no sweetness whatsoever this time
