Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
코끝에 먼저 닿는 것은 어린 라가불린의 진한 피트 연기와 요오드, 바닷가 소금기다. 7년이라는 짧은 숙성에도 아일라 남부 특유의 묵직한 훈연이 분명하다. 팰럿은 매캐한 재와 타르, 후추가 중심을 잡고 59.2도가 거칠게 밀어 올린다. 피니시는 연기와 소금기가 길게 남는 카덴헤드 싱글 아일라 몰트다. 어린 라가불린다운 거친 피트의 힘이 7년 숙성에서도 강하다.
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
