Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
라프로익 200주년을 기념한 15년으로, 벽난로에서 타는 피트 같은 묵직한 훈연이 노즈에서 곧바로 두드러진다. 소독약과 크레오소트, 젖은 석회암 향이 차례로 발전한다. 팰럿은 43도에서 라프로익 특유의 매캐한 훈연과 자몽 시럽, 리몬첼로 같은 단맛이 강건하게 얽힌다. 피니시는 길게 이어지며 바닷물과 석탄 연기가 남는다. 정통 라프로익의 개성이 짙게 담긴 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes

I find less tropical fruits, and less ‘femininity’ than in the older 15 (not talking about the powerful older ones), and much more ‘big stuffy smoke’. I don’t think we’ve ever been closer to some peat burning in a fireplace, burning papers (with perhaps a bit of plastic), antiseptic, creosote and ozone. In the background, oysters and wet limestone. What I totally adore is the fact that there are no oaky smells that I can get. How un-modern, how smart! This is an anti-Select
restaurant Palate
you would have thought they could have pushed it to 46% vol., but no, that would have been unnecessary. Totally Laphroaig, a bit acrid, very smoky, quite medicinal, very smoky, and yet candied and sweet, with grapefruit syrup and a little limoncello. It’s got this blade-y side that’s so thrilling, but also some sweeter liquorice, orange drops, and perhaps a couple of cheap whelks (my favourite seafood beyond oysters, don’t ask me why.) Excellent
timer Finish
long, much saltier. Drinking seawater and liquid smoke. Some coal smoke in the rather dry aftertaste
