Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔에 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 1973년 빈티지의 라프로익 14년은 1980년대에 병입된 옛 보틀링이다. 코에는 짙은 토탄 연기와 짠 미네랄, 마른 미역이 깊게 머문다. 입에서는 40도의 절제된 도수가 잘 익은 레몬과 약초의 쓴맛, 옅은 모닥불 향을 부드럽게 받쳐준다. 라프로익 특유의 약상자 같은 결이 마지막까지 또렷이 이어지며 잿불의 향이 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
coppery amber
air Nose
40%? Really, are you sure? Huge notes of turfy peat mingling with pure, resinous, ancient sherry. Piles of old leather, furniture polish, sultanas and raisins soaked in brandy, dark chocolate riddled with sea salt and things like long-cured game meats, animal furs and soy sauce. Thrillingly complex, the kind of aroma you could dissect for hours. Dried mushrooms, aged pu era tea, damp pipe tobaccos - just brilliant. There’s also this pervasive, dark thread of herbal peat knitting everything together, like an organic bass-thrum sitting beneath everything
restaurant Palate
Stunning! Amazing concentration of flavours. Rich, dense, herbal, turfy, rooty, sweet peat - like peat cordial. Then a lattice of preserved and dried exotic fruits. Olive oil sweetened with ancient herbal liqueurs, a few drops of pure iodine and all manner of tertiary notes of pumpernickel bread, black olive, wood spices, stewed dark fruits, smoked chocolate, bitter espresso and precious hardwood resins. As big as whisky can really be at 40%. In time the peat becomes almost dusty and palpably brittle and crunchy
timer Finish
long, leathery, drying, slightly minty, deep but gently smoky, meaty, tarry and profoundly medical and herbal. Still all these wee glimmers of dark and exotic fruits - all dried out and preserved. A smoky warmth lingers for an age in the aftertaste
