Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 바짝 가져가면 라프로익 특유의 요오드와 소독약 같은 강한 피트가 치고 올라온다. 가볍게 흔들면 쿼터 캐스크가 더한 바닐라와 그을린 오크 향이 연기 사이로 비친다. 잔을 더 돌리면 짭조름한 재와 옅은 시트러스가 따라온다. 한 모금 삼키면 50.4도의 술이 타르와 바다 소금, 달콤한 오크를 혀에 거칠게 펼친다. 삼킨 뒤에는 라프로익 특유의 약품 같은 훈연이 입안에 오래 들러붙는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s a relatively mild one, with something old style indeed, which goes well with the retro label. Such as a lighter peat and rather more tropical fruits, mango chutney, then more vanilla and hints of coconut and sawdust. Just hints! With water: oh yes, some lovely whiffs of fresh herbs, chives, lemongrass… And a little sheep dung again. Welcome to Islay!
restaurant Palate
it’s a drinkable Laphroaig. Don’t get me wrong, Laphroaig’s always drinkable, but this one’s a little easier, while retaining the smoky side, the citrus, the iodine and the smoke. Some sweeter oak behind all that? I find hints of grenadine. With water: very very good. But let me issue a warning, this is too drinkable
timer Finish
not the longest ever, but it’s got some great notes of apple peelings, green tobacco, tea… And lemon!
