Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛이 잔 속에서 차갑게 반짝인다. 1990년에 채운 단일 캐스크 라프로익 25년은 요오드와 소독약을 떠올리게 하는 약품 향, 짙은 이탄 연기를 먼저 내세운다. 입에 닿으면 타르와 훈제 소금이 강렬하게 밀려오고 그 아래로 레몬과 바닐라의 단맛이 균형을 잡는다. 48.5도의 도수는 거친 듯하면서도 25년 숙성으로 매끈하게 다듬어져 있다. 여운에서는 재와 해초, 매운 후추가 오래도록 입안에 남아 천천히 식는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a very clean Laphroaig, similar to the usual 10yo but with a little more of everything, that is to say more peat, more lemon, more grapefruit and more gunflints in this case. Not too medicinal I must say
restaurant Palate
pretty much in the same vein. Ripe kiwis and pineapples, even more grapefruits, more peat than in the 10 and quite a smokiness
timer Finish
rather long, getting salty with time. Very salty actually. Excellent, 89 points. Last minute info: our friend Geert tells me that The Syndicate is a club gathering ten famous whisky people on Islay, including distillery managers, who are funding their activities by doing their own bottlings from time to time. Laphroaig ‘Quarter Cask’ (48%, OB, circa 2007)
