Introducing Lagavulin ‘The Ink of Legends’, a standout from the Diageo Special Releases 2023. The Islay distillery’s distinctive smokiness is amplified by a finish in Don Julio Añejo Tequila casks. It was bottled at 56.4% ABV.
TASTING NOTES | COLOR: Bright pale sunlight. Good beading and legs. NOSE: The immediate aromas are slightly more medicinal than smoky, showing hints of carbolic soap and soothing rub that soon mingle with aromatic wood smoke from a driftwood bonfire on the beach. As the intense, herbal smoke takes over, a savoury note drifts through it, suggesting barbecued pork. A drop of water reduces the intensity yet adds more maritime and darkly fruity notes, making the smokiness yet more aromatic. TASTE: At natural strength, the robust texture is creamy-smooth and mouth-filling, while with its ever-richer swirling flavours the taste is sweet at first and citrus-like, adds a good sprinkling of salt, then reveals notes of juicy plum in an increasingly smoky and lip-tingling finale. With a dash of water, it’s a little sweeter and smokier still. FINISH: Long, with a salty tang and finishing very smoky, with just a hint of that light meatiness in a smoky aftertaste that is both lingering and mouth-cooling. It is drying, with a lovely warm heartedness. |
