Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
향의 도입은 라가불린 특유의 짙은 피트 연기와 바다 향이 주도한다. 카덴헤드가 버번 배럴에서 7년만 숙성해 담은 만큼 어린 보리와 짭짤한 훈연이 또렷하게 발전한다. 59.9도의 높은 도수에서 입은 그을린 보리 단맛과 후추, 요오드가 강하게 부딪친다. 피니시는 재와 바다 향으로 길게 남는다. 보기 드문 독립 병입 라가불린다운 거친 구조감이 또렷하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
pure brine and seawater, augmented with a drop of nail polish remover, the usual fresh rubber (new scuba suit, wellies) and only minimal amounts of vanilla this far. It's actually rather tarmacky, at least even more tarmacky than usual, should tarmacky be a proper word in English. With water: sootier and tarrier yet. A few pencil shavings, a little tincture of iodine, and no signs of immaturity. Something tropical for sure
restaurant Palate
it seems that someone wanted to prove that Lagavulin can be a perfectly proper Lagavulin, even when very young, which a few indies as well as the Distillers themselves already did (with the 8). What's sure is that the trademark sweetness, reaching pears and pineapples this time, is well there. The rest is classic tar, peat, brine, with a drop of mango juice too… With water: more pepper showing up, more citrus too, lime juice, lemongrass, even oranges, as well as a little barley syrup… Certainly 'sweeter' now
timer Finish
medium, really sweeter than usual at this point. It's no smooth jazz, no worries, but it is a little gentler, as if some of the casks had been deep-charred
