Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세월에 익은 짙은 적호박빛이 잔 속에서 풍성하게 빛난다. 1967년 빈티지 라프로익이 셰리 캐스크에서 15년을 보낸 R.W. 더씨의 향은 라프로익 특유의 강렬한 피트 연기와 함께 셰리 캐스크의 농밀한 건포도와 무화과, 짭조름한 바닷바람, 그리고 약품 같은 옅은 페놀의 다층적인 단내가 어우러진다. 한 모금에 57도의 견고한 캐스크 강도가 두툼하게 펼쳐지며 흑설탕과 훈제 베이컨, 바닷소금, 가벼운 가죽이 차례로 흐른다. 1980년대 클래식 라프로익의 야성적이고 강건한 여운.
AITasting Notes
Colour
golden amber
air Nose
wandering throughout an eucalyptus forest very close to the sea, in the midst of summer, while drinking Yquem 1900 (like) and smoking a perfectly taken care of pre-Fidel double-corona. More after I've added a drop of water… With water: earths. All kinds of earths, especially very rich compost-like earths they use for growing the most precious flowers. Quite some dried kelp too, while walking on the beach at low tide
restaurant Palate
just insane. The definition of utter perfection in whisky, starting with artisanal thin mints, going on with all raisins and honeys of the creation, then abandoning itself to the arms (what?) of thousands of different fruits, berries, herbs, flowers and spices. Now we won't list those or this would start to look like a dictionary and we'd be here for the rest of the day, including the night. But what a glorious list that would be! With water: it's incredible how it would take water. Every percent will add different flavours, going from a rather piney and mentholy smoky profile to luscious jams and dried fruits covered with honey and spices (saffron upfront). And then it would just silence you (I can hear you, who said 'great news'?)
timer Finish
some other whiskies, including some other Laphroaigs, are even longer but this very one's extremely gracious, with even a wee mentholated freshness in the end
