Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세컨드필 올로로소와 아메리칸 오크에서 25년을 보낸 시간이 이 위스키를 유난히 약재 쪽으로 밀어붙였다. 아일라 라프로익은 소독약과 붕대, 젖은 흙과 채소를 떠올리게 하는 진하고 의외의 향을 뿜어낸다. 51도의 도수를 타고 입안에는 뿌리채소와 감초 로젠지, 기침 시럽 같은 약초 풍미가 흙내음과 함께 밀려든다. 옅은 금빛 아래로 이어지는 여운은 길고 씁쓸하며, 자몽의 산미가 끝에 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this is rather strange. Curiously herbal and vegetal (beans, cabbage), very farmy, with whiffs of wet animals (dogs, sheep – sorry both) and then big, bold notes of antiseptic, bandages and embrocations. The most medicinal Laphroaigs I ever nosed. With water: really toned down but even earthier (old pu-erh tea). Touches of ink, old papers and mud
restaurant Palate
rawer than expected from a 25yo, almost as rooty and earthy as the 10 but also more medicinal again. Cough medicine, heavy liquorice lozenges and lime. Aloe vera juice. With water: it got cardboardy and dry, water works much worse than with the 10, which is a little strange. Muddy waters!
timer Finish
long, rather bitter, herbal and a little acrid. A little grapefruit in the aftertaste
