Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 묵직하게 빛난다. 라프로익 특유의 강렬한 피트가 코끝을 먼저 사로잡아, 요오드와 타르, 병원 소독약을 떠올리게 하는 짙은 훈연이 솟아오른다. 2005년에 병입된 이 캐스크 스트렝스답게 입안에서는 거센 모닥불 연기 위로 짠 바닷물과 바닐라의 단맛이 대비를 이룬다. 57.3도의 도수는 강건하게 입천장을 채운다. 아일라 라프로익의 여운은 그을린 재와 해초의 짠맛, 옅은 단내가 길게 맞물려 좀처럼 사그라들지 않는다. 피트 애호가를 위한 묵직한 한 잔이다.

Colour
white wine
air Nose
full smoke and peat with lemon juice and cooked apples. Not complex at all but very, very enjoyable
restaurant Palate
more rounded and balanced, a bit sweeter than Laphroaig but also a little cleaner and fresher. A perfect vatting, certainly better than a 8 yo Laphroaig or a 8 yo Caol Ila. Does a vatting bring more maturity to whisky? That’s also what for instance the Bruichladdich ‘3D’ suggests… Anyway, 86 points for this most friendly German pirate. MUSIC – Recommended listening (again something arty a la Momus): Dr Nick (yes) plays Romance! (full movie+credits).mp3 . He's quite good at playing 'detuned' on purpose (it's on purpose, right?) and I like his work pretty much. Please buy Dr Nick's music if he ever sells it!
