Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 라프로익이 빚은 10년 숙성의 오리지널 캐스크 스트렝스가 그린 스트라이프 보틀링으로 2000년에 잔에 닿는다. 옅은 황금이 잔에 차분히 자리한다. 향에서는 마른 해초와 식어 가는 잿불, 옅은 요오드의 결이 차례로 일어선다. 잔에 머문 술이 호흡할수록 그 위로 옅은 송진과 짠 바닷바람의 결이 더해진다. 57.3도의 강한 도수는 입안에서 짭조름한 단맛과 향신료, 가벼운 가죽을 펼쳐내고 한 모금이 오래 머물면 흙내와 약초의 결이 또렷해진다. 마지막에는 아일라 남부의 짠바람이 길게 이어지며 라프로익 특유의 결이 잔향에 깊이 새겨진다.
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
