Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 속에서 또렷하게 빛난다. 아일라의 라가불린을 10년 길러 캐스크 스트렝스로 담은 이 보틀링은 깊고 묵직한 피트를 지닌다. 향에는 짙은 훈연과 타르, 바다 소금기 뒤로 은은한 단맛이 비치고, 60.3도의 강한 한 모금은 연기와 후추, 달콤한 맥아를 한꺼번에 입천장에 펼친다. 높은 도수가 라가불린 특유의 진한 연기를 끌어올리며, 여운에는 재와 소금기, 단맛의 꼬리가 길게 이어져 천천히 사그라든다.

air Nose
you know, when you’re visiting the distillery, and after you’ve spent a little time with the utterly lovely and terribly knowledgeable (and energetic) Georgie (not that one mind you), you might end up trying whiskies with Pinkie-the-Great, who’s got his engaging face in more lifestyle magazines than both Donald Trump and Brad Pitt. And he’ll let you try this. I mean, something similar, that is to say a young, sweet and smoky malt that’s perhaps not very mature, and probably not totally complex, but one that’ll instantly pleasure you with its sweetness and its smokiness. Long story short, it’s probably one of the least complex whiskies I could try this year (so far), and yet it works sort-of a treat. No, you do not need descriptors. With water: smoked Williams pear eau-de-vie. In a way, this is more Alsatian – or Mitteleuropaisch – than from Islay

aged new make, sure. Raw stuff that lacks aging, that constantly hits you between your ears, and that keeps throwing williams pears and pineapples at you. Perhaps is it frankly too young, what do you say? With water: nah, it’s not bad, it’s just immature. A Miley Cyrus of a whisky. A great distillate that’s not been properly aged is still a great distillate, but it couldn’t become the greatest whisky ever – if you ask me
timer Finish
long, fruity and smoky. Or smoky and fruity, whichever you like best
