Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 호그스헤드에 셰리 피니시를 더한 21년의 시간이 이 라프로익의 거친 연기에 단맛을 입힌다. 코끝에는 짙은 약품 향과 장작 연기에 말린 과일이 겹쳐 선명하게 드러난다. 입에서는 그을린 숯과 요오드에 셰리의 건포도 단맛이 묵직하게 더해지며 52.1도가 힘을 보탠다. 짙은 호박빛 너머로 재와 다크 베리의 여운이 오래도록 끌린다.

air Nose
Hmmm, begrudgingly lovely! A gentle carpet of peat overlaid with dry leaves, mushrooms, spices and some moss and damp earth. A smouldering forest. Goes on with a little soot, some candle wax and lemon oils. Continues more towards dunnage, stables and camphor with some background notes of iodine and seawater. A nice teetering balance between farmyard and seashore characteristics. The sherry feels very 'controlled' (I'm disappointed to say). With water: becomes surprisingly fruity, even a little tropical. Some toasted cereals, muesli, dates. All rather annoyingly lovely
restaurant Palate
The sherry comes across as a little more jammy here, some curious notes of Tizer and mead along with a nice hint of salted almonds and marzipan. There's a nice, lean oily texture in the mouth with notes of green tea, lemon rind and tar liqueur. With water: soft peats, green fruits, citrus, tar, oil, you get the idea
timer Finish
long and lemony with some earthiness and soot from the sherry. Drying and surprisingly mineral towards the end
