Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 숙성이 빚어낸 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 깊게 빛난다. 아일라의 라프로익이 버번 배럴과 PX 호그스헤드에서 34년을 보낸 만큼, 향은 잘 누그러진 피트 연기 위로 말린 대추와 가죽, 요오드의 짠 기운이 겹겹이 떠오른다. 한 모금은 부드러워진 훈연과 흑설탕, 잘 익은 자두의 단맛이 입안을 천천히 채우며 오랜 세월의 둥근 질감을 드러낸다. 45.5도의 여운은 그을린 약재와 달큰한 셰리를 오래도록 머금는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
rather cleaner but also a tad less expressive, starting more on vanilla, praline and fudge but developing on more or less the same kinds of grainy, mashy aromas. Quite some breadcrumb, beer… Gets then quite flowery (lily from the valley, buttercups). Also notes of hot praline and honey. I like it better even if it hasn’t got such a bold personality
restaurant Palate
very similar now but a little creamier, with more dried fruits, jam, vanilla crème, cake… Apple pie topped with vanilla ice cream and a little caramel. Certainly rounder than its younger sibling, maybe more polished. Really pleasant. 80 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening - It's Sunday, we go classical. We like old whiskies at Whiskyfun, and we like old music too. So, today we'll have an excellent 1915 recording of Alma Gluck singing Edward Horsman's The bird of the wilderness.mp3 . Isn't it beautiful? Alma Gluck is said to have been the first artist ever to have a million selling record in the history of recorded music!
