Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 패션프루트와 망고 같은 열대 과일이 쿠바 시가의 연기와 얽혀 먼저 두드러진다. 라프로익 1999 핸드필드답게 그 시절 아일라를 대표하던 이국적이고 강렬한 피트 개성이 뚜렷하게 나타난다. 팰럿은 60.9도의 높은 도수를 타고 훈연한 패션프루트와 재를 입은 망고, 소금 친 자몽이 또렷하게 발전한다. 15년의 버번 숙성이 열대 과일과 피트의 균형을 안정적으로 잡는다. 피니시는 예상보다 강한 후추와 열대 과일의 잔향이 길게 남는다.

pah-pah-pah-pah-pah… Eating passion fruits and mangos on an old stove while smoking a Cuban puro. It’s this style that made us all Laphroaig lovers. It’s simply extraordinary and emblematic of that era when Bowmore and Laphroaig used to rule Islay – as far as malt whisky’s concerned, of course

silly me, what a mistake to have had this baby before newer bottlings! It’s just that at this relatively low strength of 90proof/45% vol., I had though we should have it before the CS and/or wine-doped versions. Excuse me? The whisky? Well, it’s as brilliant as peaty whisky can get. Smoked passion fruits, ashy mangos, salted grapefruits and all that. Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade!

long, and more peppery than expected. Wonderful ‘tropical’ signature
