Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
연한 볏짚빛이 잔에 맑게 감도는 라프로익 1999 하이그로브는 아일라 남부의 대표적 피트 몰트다. 향에서는 핑크 자몽과 패션프루트 같은 열대 과실 위로 은은한 훈연과 캄포르, 조개의 짭짤함이 섬세하게 오른다. 입에서는 훈연과 소금기, 레몬과 약재의 요오드가 완벽한 균형으로 어우러진다. 46도의 몸을 지나 바닷물처럼 짭짤하고 요오드 짙은 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
it’s not old but there are already some touches of pink grapefruits and passion fruits, like in the old Laphroaigs (old tens, Bonfanti and such). This is actually beautiful and much more delicate than expected. Light smoke, moderate camphor, lovely almonds and other fresh nuts (or is this sesame?), clams, whelks (hey!), other seafood… A perfect nose! To think that we were thinking this would be all ears (S., this is becoming ridiculous – Camilla.)
restaurant Palate
excellent, perfectly smoky, salty, lemony, medicinal and briny. Everything’s there, balance is achieved, this is perfect Laphroaig at drinking strength
timer Finish
long, briny, salty. Drinking seawater
