Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 라프로익 특유의 짙은 피트와 요오드, 셰리에서 온 마른 과일이 먼저 두드러진다. 머레이 맥데이비드가 블러드 텁으로 병입한 1988 빈티지는 16년을 채운 아일라 위스키로, 54.9도의 도수에서 강한 훈연과 셰리의 단맛이 또렷하게 맞물린다. 팰럿은 약재 같은 피트와 건포도, 그을린 오크가 단단한 구조감을 이룬다. 피니시는 마른 연기와 짭조름한 잔향을 길게 남기며 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
very smoky and fruity. Rather maritime. Lots of white fruits… Gets also a little farmy (hay) and quite sulphury
restaurant Palate
quite powerful! Nice peat, apples, peaches, apricots… White pepper. Not much else but again, it’s quite enjoyable. 80 points . Laphroaig ‘Bloodtub Valinch’ 1988/2005 (54.9%, Murray McDavid, sherry cask #9204) There are now a few non-Bruichladdich small casks ('boodtubs') available at the distillerie, where you can fill your own 50cl bottle - but these small casks aren't really used for maturation, I think. This one is an excellent and unusual sherried Laphroaig, bold, powerful and sweet at the same time. Not overly complex but very compact and satisfying. Lots of cooked fruits and a bit of toffee plus, of course, the usual big peat smoke. Very, very nice. 89 points . MUSIC – Highly recommended listening: ah, after Damien Rice, Rufus Wainwright and The Postal Service, something quite new and interesting, finally. It's Andrew Morgan doing This awful room.mp3 . Pretty excellent, with something from the early Pink Floyd and an eatheral singing... Really atmospheric! Aligned.mp3 is another fantastic piece. Please buy Andrew Morgan's music if you like it. I think his CD ' Misadventures in Radiology' is an absolute must. June 13, 2005 TASTING - THREE BRAND NEW BRUICHLADDICHS Bruichladdich Fifteen ‘Second Edition’ (50%, OB, Chateau d’Yquem finish, 2005)
