Flavor Profile
Tasting 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
