Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남안 라프로익 해안의 짭조름한 바닷바람과 강한 피트 안개가 라프로익 풍토의 핵심이다. 1967년 빈티지가 15년을 거쳐 46도로 1983년 카덴헤드의 덤피 보틀에 담겼다. 짙은 황금빛이 잔에 가득하다. 코에는 강한 피트 연기, 짠 미역, 옅은 가죽, 마른 보리가 빽빽하다. 입안은 묵직하게 흐르며 모닥불의 잿내, 소독약, 흑후추, 옅은 트로피컬 과실이 또렷하다. 여운에는 60년대 라프로익의 응축된 깊이가 길게 머문다.

bang bang! It’s this perfect kind of match between peat and oloroso indeed, you know, that third dimension of whisky that’s so miraculous when it works. Now, you have to like whisky that’s extremely gamy and flinty, immensely earthy and tremendously leafy. The notes of bitter chocolate, old rancio, old walnuts and old leather are fantastic, and so are all the cigars, chips of cedar wood and dried mushrooms that were infused in this whisky. What, that’s not how they did it? Enough said
restaurant Palate
plain and simple, please call the anti-maltoporn brigade right now. Seriously, it’s no classic, explosive or ‘very biggish’ sherry and peat monster such as, say the famous Caol Ila Manager’s Dram or some old sherried Port Ellens by James MacArthur, or such as the more recent Lagavulin 21 (just to give you a few examples), and it’s not even very complex, but the balance between the sherry and the peat is just perfect. It’s no whisky, it’s a tightrope walker
timer Finish
dry as long as a day without bread as we say over here (or as a speech by Fidel Castro as they say over there) but certainly less boring. I love these notes of smoky blackcurrants in the aftertaste, as well as the Laphroaiggy signature: a few drops of cough syrup
