Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세월에 잠긴 짙은 호박이 잔의 깊은 곳에서 흐른다. 라프로익 1970 빈티지 14년은 카덴헤드의 그린 덤피 보틀로 풀린 1984년 보틀링이며, 향에서는 짠 바닷바람과 강렬한 토탄 연기, 그을린 후추, 옅은 가죽, 약 같은 페놀이 한데 얽혀 펼쳐진다. 56.4도의 도수는 입안에서 라프로익 특유의 약 향과 그을린 미네랄, 짭짤한 시브리즈, 옅은 시트러스의 결을 한꺼번에 풀어놓으며 70년대 아일라 피트의 거친 면모를 보여준다. 여운은 바닷가 모닥불처럼 길게 타들어간다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
more sherry, it seems. This is also earthier and more tertiary, so less ‘straight’, and of course it’s just as flabbergasting. I’ll mention Cuban cigars from an old box, I’ll mention an old bottle of mead, I’ll add some beeswax and the most precious honeys (perhaps manuka, but isn’t manuka overrated?), and I won’t forget the most good (not the same as the best) milk chocolate. And it would start to become terrifyingly complex, shooting tiny aromas at you one after the other, first twenty dozen candied and dried fruits, then many precious balms and oils from the middle-east, and then more herbs and saps than you could find at Wikipedia’s
restaurant Palate
first, it’s dry. And second, it’s herbal. And hugely tertiary, meaty, ‘foresty’, mushroomy… Let’s be quick, this is more or less some very old Chambertin matured in old pinewood. It’s even pretty bouillony (with salt), and there is some long-aged mead. Utterly brilliant old Laphroaig. Yes I’m trying to keep this as short as possible, I’m sure you understand
timer Finish
perhaps a tiny wee bit bitter, but that’s good, I was afraid would be flying too high, because we need to maintain our strength
