Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
연한 황금빛이 잔 안에서 맑게 빛난다. 라프로익 특유의 오래된 책과 퍼티, 바니시와 켈프의 해안 훈연이 30년의 변형을 거쳐 복합적으로 열린다. 입에서는 53.5도의 힘이 날카로운 라임즙과 메즈칼 같은 뉘앙스, 짭조름한 부용과 훈제 청어로 팽팽하게 번진다. 왁스와 레몬, 옅은 핑크 페퍼가 아일라 원액의 깊이를 드러낸다. 여운은 짭조름하고 왁스 같으며 훈연과 시트러스가 30년 리미티드 에디션의 원숙한 개성을 오래 남긴다.
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
