Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 속에서 은은하게 빛난다. 버번을 거쳐 아몬티야도 셰리로 마무리한 라프로익 2005는 향에서 짙은 나무 내음과 전나무 톱밥, 녹차, 나직이 속삭이는 이탄을 낸다. 55.1도의 입안은 기름지고 오크가 앞서며, 은은한 이국 과일과 함께 초록 타닌과 레몬 마멀레이드가 스친다. 여운은 길지만 단조로우며 마른 떫은맛이 오래 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s mostly pronounced woodiness we’re getting here, fir sawdust, green tea, and a peat that, at this stage, prefers to whisper rather than shout. The whole remains bone-dry nonetheless. With water: still bone-dry, now leaning into soaked cask wood, fig leaves, and green tomato vines
restaurant Palate
not unpleasant on the palate, somewhat oily and cask-driven, though a few exotic fruit notes do peek through, the sort that once built Laphroaig’s reputation, beyond the love it or hate it USP. On the other hand, those green tannins and that oddly artificial smoke become increasingly grating and assertive. With water: a sliver of gentleness emerges, circling around lemon marmalade, but let’s not kid ourselves, it’s the bare minimum
timer Finish
long but rather simplistic, with an astringency that overstays its welcome
