Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
붉은 기운이 깃든 호박빛이 잔 깊숙이 내려앉아 있다. 라가불린 25년산 200주년 디스틸러리 매니저스 릴리즈는 셰리 캐스크에서 25년을 보낸 흔적을 짭조름한 바닷바람과 진한 피트 훈연, 잘 익은 건포도의 향으로 풀어낸다. 한 모금이 묵직하게 입을 채우며 다크 토피와 가죽, 따스한 향신료가 미끄러지듯 이어진다. 51.7도의 단단한 짜임 끝에는 짙은 훈연과 잔잔한 시나몬의 풍미가 길게 잠긴다.

dark amber
air Nose
are we not too tough with the new one? I mean, this is brilliant, Lagavulin and sherry in unison, without a single off-note, with this feeling of old embrocations that work so well. It really was a medicinal Lagavulin that was walking on its neighbours’ beds if you ask me. Then come tobacco, old pu-her tea, cigars, engine oil, chocolate, Spanish ham, wood and charcoal smoke… With water: bang, menthol and dunnage and soot, old cigars, bandages…
restaurant Palate
what a glorious, albeit monstrous drop it is! Huge very bitter marmalade, then cigars and leather, salt and peppery oloroso… It’s pretty rough actually. I remember water used to work pretty well though… With water: you may laugh or not, but it reminds me of the first Distiller’s Edition, yes that 1979 that went to prove that not all finishings were just silly j**k. Marmalade, roasted chestnuts, coffee, bitter chocolate, wood spices…
timer Finish
long and just perfect. Ristretto with a drop of limoncello (could we do that or would our Italian friends just hang us – or worse, make us drink 10€-grappa?) Notes of prune too
