Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남안의 토탄 늪과 거센 바닷바람이 라프로익의 약품 같은 강렬한 훈연을 키운다. 페드로 히메네스 셰리 호그스헤드에서 7년을 보낸 이 위스키는 잔에 짙은 호박빛으로 빛난다. 코에는 요오드와 그을린 해초, 그 사이로 건포도와 흑설탕의 단내가 솟아오르고, 54.5도의 거친 힘 속에서 재와 다크 초콜릿, 셰리의 단맛이 입천장을 천천히 덮는다. 여운에는 짭조름한 훈연과 말린 과일의 단맛이 길고 강렬하게 이어진다.

air Nose
A peat fire, scorched earth, burning leaves and then... raisins! Some dark fruit from the sherry arises quite pleasantly. Develops further with notes of ginger bread, mead, peat oils, resin, camphor and digestive biscuits in a dunnage warehouse. It definitely wears its 7 years very lightly this one, the richness from the sherry gives a sense of extra maturity I have to say. Perhaps a little ground black pepper and salted pork (one for Lord Of The Rings fans there). With water: some nice notes of black olives and dried mushrooms now with a resinous smokiness. The sherry is at least pretty clean I have to say
restaurant Palate
The youth has returned and I hear some Mr Hyde foot steps around the corner, a big combination of raw peat and sticky sweetness from the PX. Toffee, bread and butter pudding, coal hearths, aspirin, gravel and more wet earthy notes. Perhaps some damp sack cloth and hessian. It's quite a bruiser this one. With water: a little green fruit, some notes of various teas and olive oil. Perhaps a little pink grapefruit and a really nice nervous saltiness. More black olives and some notes of preserved lemon. Water really works on the palate I think
timer Finish
quite long but a bit haphazard and unbalanced, some slightly cloying PX notes towards the end
