Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛에 옅은 황금이 어우러진 색조가 잔 안에 묵직하게 자리한다. 1970년 라프로익이 증류한 원액을 14년 숙성시킨 이 RWD 보틀링은 아일레이 특유의 짭짤한 해풍과 약상자 같은 페놀, 그을린 토탄과 절인 레몬의 자극적 향이 동시에 밀려온다. 한 모금 머금으면 57.1도의 카스크 스트렝스가 단단한 피트의 광물성과 짠 미역, 그리고 오래된 가죽의 깊이를 차례로 풀어낸다. 옛 라프로익 특유의 거칠고 솔직한 야성이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour

air Nose
not easy after the OB, it’s rather less aromatic and kind of closed, maybe because of the much higher strength. In fact, it’s certainly more medicinal and mineral but again, it’s a little blocked by the high alcohol – or is it simply very austere in comparison with the superb 30yo? Let’s see... With water: yesss. Everything, wet dogs (we’re all sorry, dogs), a pack of cough lozenges, fresh barley, grapefruits, creosote, pitch, kippers, engine oil, turpentine, carbolineum, fresh clay, citrons, mangos, shoe polish, fireworks… Yes, fireworks indeed
restaurant Palate
hits you right between your eyes. Powerful, immense, dominant, inevitable (what?) Extremely medicinal, it’s almost like drinking some kind of smoked mercurochrome… While some citrus fruits are having a good laugh about you in the background. Little bastards… Anyway, it’s the whisky that has taken control of you, not the other way round. Strange feeling… With water: we’re coming closer to the 30, just with a little less fruits and rather more smoke and oils. Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade forthwith!
timer Finish
endless, becoming ashier and smokier. The aftermath of a heavy gunfight
