Lagavulin Special Release 2023 Finish in Don Julio Anejo Tequila Casks 12yo 56.4% Distillery Bottle
今回のご紹介は、1月に紹介したオーバン同様、変化球なテキーラ・フィニッシュのラガヴーリン。
販売当時から賛否両論なボトルで気になってましたが、ようやく今回ご紹介と相成りました。
オフィシャルの説明では・・、
Introducing Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Releases 2023 Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at natural cask strength - Thick wisps of aromatic herbal smoke honour the ancient art of tattooing, clouds that slowly disperse in whispers of stories.
The sweet scent of ripe plums lingers, as smoky black ink etches an outline of illustrious past generations ascending to legendary heights. Each work of art is a map of historic victories, imprinted on a living canvas.
Inspired by the spirit of intensity and pride that shines through a Lagavulin history more than 200 years long, our Malt Master explores the famed symbols of the ancient Mesoamerican art of tattoo, rich in story and significance.
The whisky, finished in Don Julio Añejo tequila casks, pulses with herbal flavours ancient and modern, engraving an indelible story.
Amid fierce glints of gold, fresh notes of sea air, citrus and ripened berries mingle with intense herbal smoke in an enchanted swirl of heady aromas, while the creamy-smooth and robust texture plays the perfect canvas to a rich palette of swirling flavours.
Sweet with juicy plums and a hint of saltiness, then ever more herbal and smokier, the flavours deep-etch their impression for a lip-tingling whisky of legends. Serving Suggestion: The distinctively spicy, dry & clean taste makes an exceptional cocktail such as Julep or Old Fashioned.
UNIQUE FEATURES: Distillery-first expression. Lagavulin 12 Year Old features in SPIRITED XCHANGE, a limited edition Single Malt Whisky inspired by the exchange of global craft and culture for Special Releases 2023.
HOW IT’S MADE: Thick whispers of rich smoke, etched with bright herbs and juicy plums, for an indelible finish. Finished in Don Julio Añejo tequila casks.
TASTING NOTES: To a Lagavulin at its most vigorous, delicious to drink and full of distillery character, the tequila finishing casks have brought indelible layers of bright, herbal smoke and dark plum fruit.
SERVE: Best served neat, pour 50ml of Lagavulin 12 Year Old in a whisky glass and enjoy.
OCCASION: Lagavulin 12 Year Old is a unique gift that stands out within the Special Releases collection, and is perfect for get-togethers with friends or family.
Palate: To a Lagavulin at its most vigorous, delicious to drink and full of distillery character, the tequila finishing casks have brought indelible layers of bright, herbal smoke and dark plum fruit.
・・・、との事。
少々くどい説明ですが、200年以上の歴史を誇るラガヴーリンが、古代メソ・アメリカのタトゥーの芸術性、物語をインスパイアした作品と言う事らしい。
ドン・フリオ・アネホの樽でフィニッシュとの事で、ハーブ、プラム、スモーキーとか書いてありますが、アガベのフレーバーが知識として頭に無ければ、テキーラの影響は、ま~、抜栓直後は分からないレベルw
海外のファンサイトで叩いてる人も居ましたが、とりあえずラガヴーリンらしさバリバリで、当方としては文句無いです。
ま、もっとも、熟成テキーラの胡椒感がある変化球を想像してたので、そういう意味では肩透かし・・。
「何の為のテキーラ樽なんだよ!」「無駄に高いし・・」とはなるかもね?
ご興味があれば、ご来店、オーダー、宜しくお願い致します!ではでは!!
