Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래 묵은 짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에 깊게 어린다. 라프로익 25년 캐스크 스트렝스는 세컨드필 올로로소와 아메리칸 오크가 어우러져 바닷내 가득한 피트 연기 위로 말린 자두와 가죽이 천천히 피어오른다. 51.4도의 도수가 입안에서 소독약 같은 요오드와 훈제 향, 검은 후추를 묵직하게 두른다. 오랜 숙성이 거친 피트를 둥글게 다듬어 여운은 잿빛 연기와 짭조름한 단맛이 길게 이어진다.
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
