Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 옛 라가불린 특유의 의약 피트와 짠 미네랄이 명확하게 드러난다. 머레이 맥데이비드가 24년 오크 캐스크 46도로 병입한 이 Lagavulin 1979는 1970년대 아일라의 풍부한 오일과 절제된 훈연 균형이 또렷이 발현된다. 팰럿에서는 훈제 베이컨, 다시마, 가벼운 가죽이 차례로 발전한다. 피니시는 짠 훈연과 마른 미네랄로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
as big as you can get at 43%. Old school peat slapped on with a trowel. Black pepper, coal embers, soot, roof pitch and buckets of tar. Feels even more ‘old school’ than the 12 yo versions; I’m reminded of a certain 14yo Laphroaig bottled in the 1950s here. Brilliantly herbal, tarry, earthy, phenolic and full of this wonderfully greasy, textural peatiness
restaurant Palate
Indeed, this is old, old stuff. Hugely peaty, grizzly herbal bitters, smoked peppercorns, natural tar extracts, industrial cough medicines, ointments, vapour rubs and hessian. Simple in many ways, but beautifully so and with devastating poise and power
timer Finish
long, leafy, drying, herbal, tarry, earthy peat smoke. A briny splosh of seawater in the aftertaste
