Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 라프로익이 옅은 황금빛을 잔 벽을 타고 미끄러뜨린다. 코끝으로 가져가면 버번 캐스크 너머로 강렬한 약재 향과 피트 연기, 바다소금이 거침없이 솟구친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 56도의 술이 그을린 타르와 요오드, 옅은 바닐라로 입안을 채우고 12년 숙성이 다듬은 묵직함이 혀를 감싼다. 물을 몇 방울 더하면 매캐한 연기 뒤로 달큰한 바닐라와 시트러스가 한결 또렷하게 드러난다. 천천히 삼키면 짭짤한 재와 소독약 같은 약 향이 어우러진 연기의 잔향이 입안을 오래 맴돈다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Amber
air Nose
It’s a gentle and very coastal and salty one. I remember a paler bottling that was far more classically tropical and fruity. This one is more nervous and resinously peaty with, wood ash, seashore, dried seaweed, minerals, smoked sea salt, iodine and various camphor, hessian and dunnage notes. Various medical tinctures, mercurochrome and TCP. Globally it’s very gentle and elegant though. Some burnt toffee, a few wet leaves and a little olive oil. Some tar liqueur and ripe orange zest with a few more delicate notes of coal smoke, fermenting hay and sheep fank. Delicacy is the name of the game here
restaurant Palate
The power goes up a notch here. An oily, uber dry and emphatic peatiness envelops the palate. A big farmyard fug also arrives. The seashore aspects are pushed to the background and the medicinal qualities come across as thick and drying. Black olives, rosemary, umami paste, a little blood orange as well
timer Finish
Some preserved lemons, medicine, soot, ash. Not the longest finish sadly
