Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 캐스크에서 21년을 보낸 시간이 라프로익의 약품 같은 이탄을 한결 둥글고 깊게 다듬었다. 코에는 요오드와 그을린 해초, 옅은 바닐라가 묵직하게 얽힌다. 입에서는 꿀과 시트러스의 단맛 사이로 소독약 같은 연기와 짠맛이 48.8도의 힘을 타고 또렷하게 번진다. 옅은 황금빛의 이 보틀링은 식은 잿불과 소금기, 가벼운 바닐라의 여운을 길고 강인하게 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
a light and citrussy kind of smoke. Really a mix of old style tropical Laphroaig with more chiselled, mineral-centric modern style examples. Mineral salts, soy sauce, fish sauce, miso and lime juice. The fruits gain intensity with air time. Eventually you get a more exuberant profile that displays mango, preserved lemons, olive oil and things like guava, clove oil and metal polish. A rather beguiling character of Laphroaig that dances between eras in a way that is at times frustrating but also undeniably charming
restaurant Palate
more lime, more tropical fruits but also more saltiness, more beach pebbles, more things like salted fish, fresh oysters, tutti frutti, pineapple syrup, ointments and antiseptic. The texture feels bigger than the ABV in a way which is again rather deceptive and beguiling. A mysterious Laphroaig in a long dark trench coat
timer Finish
long and all on green and black olives in brine, capers, lemon juice, tropical fruit juices, iodine, peat smoke and black pepper
