Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 앰버빛이 잔 속에 서늘하게 내려앉는다. 아일라의 라프로익을 10년 채운 뒤 원액 강도 58도로 병입한 이 캐스크 스트렝스 배치는, 코끝에 깊고 순수한 이탄 연기와 약재 뿌리, 마른 허브와 오렌지 껍질, 타르의 향이 강렬하게 얽힌다. 힘 있는 한 모금은 굳센 이탄의 풍미 위로 소금기와 오래된 꿀, 타르의 결이 혀를 완전히 덮는다. 훈제 바다 소금 같은 짭조름함이 압도하고, 여운은 마른 이탄이 온기와 함께 깊게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
what to say? An extraordinarily pure and deep aromatic peat profile, how you might imagine a slab of 3000 year old bog, smouldering on a plate would smell. But there's also medicinal roots, dried herbs, ancient liqueurs of various type, crystallised orange rind, bergamot, wintergreen and preserved exotic fruits. I find it very close in profile to the old 14yo OB bottling from the 1950s with this harmonious intertwining of peat, sherry and complicated tertiary notes
restaurant Palate
it has probably softened somewhat with the lower fill level in this bottle, but the power and charisma of the peat flavour is still astonishing. Deep, broad, rooty, organic, herbal, vegetal, coastal and medical all at the same time. The sort of whisky that rips up and completely re-draws your internal mental assumptions about peat flavour. I also forgot to mention some stunning dried out old honey and honeycomb notes, also hessian, ink, pure tar extracts and this encroaching, utterly stunning saltiness, like peat smoked sea salt! One of these whiskies that leads the way and leaves you scrabbling to keep up…
timer Finish
extremely long and profoundly deep, warm and glowing with old, dry, earthy peat
