Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔에 또렷하게 비친다. 라프로익 1993은 12년을 보낸 아일라 몰트로, 소독약과 요오드를 떠올리게 하는 강렬한 피트가 이 증류소의 상징이다. 코에는 장작 연기와 바다 소금, 옅은 약재 향이 감돈다. 54.5도의 입은 단단하게 차오르며 훈연과 후추, 짭조름한 미네랄이 깊게 머문다. 여운에는 식은 모닥불과 바다 향이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
starts very maritime and very interestingly fruity. Lots of gooseberries, strawberries and kiwis and a much lower peat level than in most young Laphroaigs. Feels like if the peat was here just to season a fruit salad. It gets then stony, flinty, with also notes of marshmallows. Very unusual, very interesting. It seems that our friends at The Whisky Fair make it a point of honour to select unusual, yet very good casks and I say that’s a brilliant idea, congrats
restaurant Palate
it’s all in keeping with the nose at first sip except that the peat arrives in full glory after just a few seconds. Much more classical in fact, quite medicinal and maritime, with also notes of walnut skin, white pepper and smoked tea. Classic but excellent, especially when considering its young age. The finish is long, full, compact, very ‘Laphroaig’ now. A speedy maturing (so it wasn’t on Islay, was it?) and an excellent result. 90 points . Laphroaig 12 yo 1993 ‘Hebridean Light’ (54.5%, Art of Whisky, cask #2433)
