Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
라프로익 18년은 노즈에서 옅은 톱밥과 바닐라로 시작해 곧 은은한 스모크와 낙엽, 바닷물, 베이컨, 해초가 자리를 잡는다. 높은 도수에도 화려하지 않고 섬세하며 보이차 같은 결이 발전한다. 48도의 팰럿은 짭짤한 베이컨과 훈제 청어, 스모크드 티에 열대 과일의 힌트가 우아하게 맞물리며 균형이 단단하다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 이어지며 망고의 뉘앙스를 또렷이 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts with some sawdust and vanilla, which is a little disconcerting, but everything is soon to fall into place. A mild smoke, some autumn leaves, some seawater, a little bacon, hessian, seaweed, pu-erh tea, humus… It’s not big, it’s even a little shy and fragile despite the rather high strength, but I do enjoy this delicate nose quite a lot. I find it classy
restaurant Palate
oh very good, chiselled, complex, elegant… There’s a little newish oak again, like at first nosing, but these salty bacon and kippers, plus the smoked tea, plus the touches of tropical fruits that hint at the distillery’s more glorious ages are most appealing. The whole’s just a little simple
timer Finish
medium long, with ideas of mangos indeed
