Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 셰리와 리필 호그스헤드가 어우러진 호박빛이 잔 벽을 따라 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 라프로익 특유의 약품 같은 훈연과 요오드 위로 건포도의 단내가 겹쳐 밀려온다. 52.6도를 한 모금 머금으면 그을린 이탄과 정향, 말린 과일이 혀를 강하게 감싼다. 23년 숙성과 셰리가 거친 연기를 감싸안아, 삼킨 뒤에는 소금기와 다크초콜릿의 잔향이 끝에서 오래 맴돈다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
the utter pleasures of refill wood, without any wood influence as such, this is only wood as 'a facilitator', not as a 'flavouring agent'. Long story short, this is pristine fresh and pure Laphroaig that's taken its time and was never rushed. Superb lemons, seawater, oysters, touch of aniseed, and just hints of caraway and juniper. Luminous and obvious (bravo, S.) With water: best of Pouilly-Fumé. I know I shouldn't always use wine references, that that's too easy, but really, I'm not finding a description better than 'Pouilly-Fumé'
restaurant Palate
fantastic, ultra-tight, salty, ueber-vertical, blade-y. Terrifyingly vertical! With water: cuts you into halves, as we sometimes say. The menthol in the background is flabbergasting too. Chalk, lemon, peat, brine, menthol
timer Finish
long, ultra-clean, bone-dry, with more ashes and even a feeling of carbon dust
