Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 속에 부드럽게 비친다. 2007년 빈티지 12년 숙성의 Laphroaig Highgrove답게 첫 향에서 의약품 향, 식어가는 모닥불의 연기, 짠 해초의 향이 또렷이 드러난다. 한 모금에는 굵은 바다소금, 그을린 레몬 껍질, 약한 바닐라의 풍미가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며, 46도의 강도가 12년 숙성의 깨끗한 캐릭터를 단단히 받친다. 아일라 남쪽 증류소의 강한 의약품 피트가 또렷이 깃든다. 여운은 잿더미와 짠맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
well, there’s what the colour wouldn’t have led us to suspect: notes of fresh wood, especially ginger, and faint touches of coconut, but the rest keeps the Laphroaig DNA intact, that camphory, peaty side, with overripe apple, but then there’s the arrival of paprika and that’s clearly the cask. Smoked paprika, if you please (indeed, it does exist) …
restaurant Palate
the smoke in its rawest, most elemental state, austere, close to charcoal, then smoked paprika again, ripe apple, and a rather surprising touch of pineapple, which one knows can come from the casks. What’s really toned down compared to more classic Laphroaigs, like the ‘regular’ 10 or the CS, are the coastal and medicinal elements, which seem to have been somewhat erased. But it’s still very good
timer Finish
fairly long, with unexpected notes of exotic fruit liqueurs and syrups
