Mina kommentarer:
Denna ska vara i stil och klass med den gamla Lagavulin 16. Det bådar gott! Lakritsrot, torv, medicinal och en lite fruktig rök.
Min poäng: 90 p
Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:
Lagavulin 12yo Special Release 2002 (57.8%, OB, Bottled 2002)
Nose: Very odd. Sourish. Very alcoholic. Glue. Too harsh to detect anything pleasant. Maybe this one would have improved with time but I couldn't be bothered. Too crude.
Taste: It seems very sweet, but maybe that's the alcohol again? Peat maybe? Dry. Preliminary impression: Mid-70's, perhaps? Another one that's extremely hard to rate. Second sampling: Wow! Lots of organics in the nose and a peaty punch on the palate. I seriously misjudged this on my first try. This has both raw power and refinement. Xlnt.
Score: 90 points - without a shadow of a doubt. I was seriously misguided last time. My confident response: Yes, this is a very nice piece of work you'll have to work at...
Colour: Very pale white wine
Taste: Sweet and fresh, then very smoky. marshmallow, digestive biscuit, Assam tea.
Finish: Billows smoke, Lagavulin peatiness. Slight fruit. Warming and long.
