Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밝은 금빛이 잔 안에서 은은하게 빛난다. 아일라 라프로익이 43도로 담긴 고전적인 15년이다. 코에는 벽난로에서 타는 피트와 소독약, 크레오소트와 오존이 큼직한 연기로 밀려온다. 뒤이어 굴과 젖은 석회암의 서늘한 뉘앙스가 겹친다. 입에서는 살짝 아린 훈연과 약재 위로 자몽 시럽과 리몬첼로의 달큰함이 겹친다. 중반부에는 감초와 오렌지 드롭스의 단맛이 아린 연기 사이로 배어난다. 오크 향이 거의 없는 옛 방식의 정직한 피트가 또렷하게 드러난다. 여운은 바닷물과 액체 같은 연기, 석탄의 그을음이 길고 짭짤하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes

air Nose
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
