Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 라프로익다운 요오드와 소독약 같은 강한 피트가 가장 먼저 인사한다. 잔을 흔들수록 1985년 빈티지 오랜 숙성이 더한 잘 익은 과일과 바닐라가 거친 연기를 둥글게 감싼다. 한 모금 삼키면 30년의 풍미가 훈제 소금과 타르, 달큰한 꿀로 혀를 덮고, 53.5도가 단단하게 번진다. 목을 넘기면 바닷내음과 잿빛 연기가 오래 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
not this time, apparently. Old books, carbon paper, magazines, plasticine, wood varnish, French beans, mashed peas, carbolineum, brake fluid, kelp, peonies, hibiscus… It sure isn't your 'average' Laphroaig and some transmutations seem to have taken place, but I find this nose stunning this far. Unless it would all go pear-shaped from now on… With water: truffles, mashed potatoes, carbon, newspaper of the day, Brussels sprouts, kelp, oysters. Who said this one would be unusual?
restaurant Palate
oh! It is a wrestler on the palate, with some very 'green', almost acidic arrival on concentrated lime juice, some varnish, then a loud and clear feeling of mezcal. Which, as always, leaves me speechless (who said thank God, who?) With water: stunning salty bouillons plus, once again, Pouilly-Fumé, kippers, wax, lemon, and some pink pepper in moderation
timer Finish
sadly
