Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 셰리 캐스크에서 32년을 거친 아일라 라프로익 32년의 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안쪽을 미끄러진다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 라프로익 특유의 약한 요오드와 식어가는 피트 연기, 말린 무화과의 향이 차례로 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 46.6%의 도수가 입안에서 셰리의 단맛과 묵은 피트, 옅은 가죽의 결로 풀려나간다. 삼킨 뒤에도 라프로익 32년의 깊고 짠 잔향이 입천장에 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold. Much lighter than the official pictures suggested
air Nose
ah, yes. New tyres and benzine, flints, fresh walnuts, a touch of black truffles (I know that suggests sulphur, but not quite), embrocations and tiger balm, menthol, rather very old Sauternes than oloroso, bicycle inner tube, a touch of raisins, a curious hint of rancio… And no obvious smokiness. Love this nose
restaurant Palate
Laphroaig! A perfect phenolic maelstrom, complex, rich, yet very elegant… I’ve read lukewarm reviews, but I’m relieved, since I’m finding this pretty perfect. Medicinal as it should be, almondy, perfectly gassy (in a way), with the expected tropical fruits (maracuja) and these smoked apples that do not exist in real life, but are very Laphroaig. And here come the seashells, the oysters, the mint drops, our beloved whelks, tincture of iodine… Well, true Laphroaig. Love it, really, love it…
timer Finish
the true level of a malt whisky is to be found in its finish, said a friend whose name escapes me. This finish is perfect
