Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 호그스헤드에서 30년을 보낸 시간이 라프로익 특유의 강한 피트를 한결 우아하게 다듬었다. 코에는 짙은 훈연과 요오드, 바다 소금기가 또렷하게 피어오른다. 입에서는 재 같은 스모크 위로 왁스와 시트러스, 약품 같은 향이 깊게 흐른다. 53.5도의 도수가 30년 숙성의 섬세함을 단단히 받친다. 옅은 황금빛 끝에 짭조름한 연기가 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
not this time, apparently. Old books, carbon paper, magazines, plasticine, wood varnish, French beans, mashed peas, carbolineum, brake fluid, kelp, peonies, hibiscus… It sure isn't your 'average' Laphroaig and some transmutations seem to have taken place, but I find this nose stunning this far. Unless it would all go pear-shaped from now on… With water: truffles, mashed potatoes, carbon, newspaper of the day, Brussels sprouts, kelp, oysters. Who said this one would be unusual?
restaurant Palate
oh! It is a wrestler on the palate, with some very 'green', almost acidic arrival on concentrated lime juice, some varnish, then a loud and clear feeling of mezcal. Which, as always, leaves me speechless (who said thank God, who?) With water: stunning salty bouillons plus, once again, Pouilly-Fumé, kippers, wax, lemon, and some pink pepper in moderation
timer Finish
sadly
