Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 연기를 끌어올리면 22년을 보낸 옅은 황금빛 아래 짙은 향이 솟는다. 코끝으로 가져가면 라프로익다운 요오드와 소독약 같은 약재 향 위로 토탄 연기와 레몬이 겹쳐진다. 한 모금을 머금으면 59.1도의 강한 질감이 입천장을 덮고 짭짤한 훈연과 타르, 흰 후추가 진하게 번진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 약재 같은 피트와 소금기가 혀에 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
interesting! Sure it’s not easy to nose such a high strength baby but I seem to find touches of white rhum agricole and candy sugar beyond the bandages and the antiseptic. Maybe also hints of walnut cake, possibly from the sherry cask. It seems that this will be lovely… With water: it is lovely, as much as a, say a Corvette can be lovely. Heavy briny and smoky young Laphroaig! Nah, it’s very classy, in fact
restaurant Palate
perfect, just perfect. Powerful, smoky brine and lemon juice but all that remains elegant. Olive oil and other oils, then lemon juice and salted liquorice. High quality youngster. With water: swallowing a dozen oysters with Tabasco and lemon juice
timer Finish
long, salty. The Tabasco got even louder
