Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 라프로익 특유의 요오드와 병원 소독약 같은 피트 노트가 명확하게 드러나고, 세컨드필 올로로소 셰리가 더한 말린 과일과 호두 향이 그 위에 얹힌다. 46.7도의 입에서는 25년 숙성이 다듬은 부드러운 훈연과 짭짤한 감초, 진한 캐러멜이 균형 있게 발전한다. 오랜 숙성 덕에 어린 라프로익의 거친 면이 사라지고 구조감이 한층 정제되어 있다. 피니시는 은은한 바닷소금과 재의 쌉쌀함이 길게 남는다. 강렬함과 절제가 공존하는, 노련하게 숙성된 아일라 몰트다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
well, hang about! There does indeed seem to be an immediate and rather striking fruitiness about this one. It certainly feels like quite a big departure from the previous two. This one opens all on lemon peels, bandages, ointments, caraway, softer medicines, grapefruit and boiled lime sweets. It’s pretty reminiscent of the late 1980s 10 year olds such as the Cinzano and Genova import examples. Gets more coastal and develops notes of things such as squid ink, seashells and clay. A wee prickle of iodine underneath it all as well
restaurant Palate
gentle bonfire smoke, seashore freshness, lemon infused olive oil, peppered mackerel, guava, melon, dried herbs such as tarragon, sage and thyme and a slight fisherman’s welly note. There’s also stuff like salty honey, wood resin, mustard seeds, pineapple jelly and coal smoke
timer Finish
medium in length but nervously tropical, salty, coastal and full of gentle, wisping kiln air and smoky barley notes
