Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 호박빛이 잔에 또렷이 비친다. 라프로익이 1998년에 증류되어 리필 배럴과 리필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 26년을 머문 시간은 아일라의 거친 피트를 노쇠한 셰리의 단맛과 균형 짓는다. 향에서는 짙은 훈연과 짠 바닷바람, 옅은 가죽이 차례로 풀려나고 입에서는 57도의 알코올이 진한 피트와 마른 무화과로 흐른다. 여운에는 아일라 남부의 짠 결과 셰리의 견과류가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it's tricky, very tricky. On the one hand, the refill hoggies are absolutely perfect when the spirit was perfect in the first place, but they offer little variety since they aren't very active. On the other hand, the sherry casks, even hogsheads, offer much more variety but they may be less 'clean and sharp', less pure so to speak. What a cruel dilemma, Emma! It's true that in this case, like often, there's a kind of rubberiness that comes from the combination of heavy peat with the wine. There are also a few struck matches, or burnt gunpowder... Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty beautiful nose, it's just having trouble after the clean sharp ones. But things should improve on the palate
restaurant Palate
yes they do, brightly so. Bitter oranges, smoke, burnt caramel, honey sauce, marmalade, liquorice... It's a big phat dram but it remains elegant
timer Finish
long, creamy. A lot of lapsang souchong tea
