Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남부 해안의 라프로익은 요오드와 약품 같은 강렬한 피트로 단단한 추종을 거느린 증류소다. 1990년 증류해 30년을 보낸 이 보틀링은 깊은 황금빛을 띤다. 오랜 숙성이 거친 기운을 다듬어 향에서는 이탄 연기와 바다 내음 위로 잘 익은 과일과 꿀이 더해지고 입에서는 53.6도가 훈연과 달콤함을 매끄럽게 끌어올린다. 여운에는 재와 소금기, 약초 같은 페놀이 길게 남는다.
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
