Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 속에 산뜻하게 잠겨 있다. 1996년 증류된 라프로익 13년은 잔을 채우자 짙은 피트 위로 요오드와 바다소금, 그을린 장작의 향을 강하게 풀어낸다. 한 모금에는 56.5도의 힘 있는 도수 위로 훈제 베이컨과 타르, 약재 같은 결이 진하게 번진다. 아일라 남부 특유의 거칠고 짭조름한 훈연이 입천장을 묵직하게 덮고, 여운에는 재와 요오드가 길고 강렬하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
there is, indeed, something slightly raisiny floating in the air, but other than that, it’s pure clean coastal Laphroaigness, with a lot of iodine, fresh oysters, and only a mild medicinal side. Not much oak, all for the better. With water: perfect! The camphor comes out, together with some mint, eucalyptus and hints of bicycle inner tube. Linoleum. Swims extremely well
restaurant Palate
it’s sweet youngish Laphroaig, an excellent distillate, full of rooty notes, some lemon, a clean smokiness, a little pepper and very few raisins. Perhaps. Very crisp. With water: it’s really sweet now, rounder, with some peach jam, for example. From the brandy wood?
timer Finish
quite long, a little leafy, earthy… Creosote, cherry stem tea, leaves…
