Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝으로 가져가면 라프로익 특유의 약품 같은 피트 향이 먼저 강하게 인사한다. 잔을 흔들면 옅은 황금빛이 일렁이고, 향을 들이마시면 요오드와 바닷내음, 그을린 재가 차례로 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 15년 묵은 아일라의 기름진 훈연이 혀를 감싸고 소금기와 후추가 번진다. 삼키고 나면 짭조름한 연기와 약초 향이 목 안쪽에 길게 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this one is curiously more towards smoked cereals. A very fragrant, seashore bonfire kind of smoke with kippery notes, wild flowers, kelp, oysters, hessian and lamp oil. There’s a dusting of fruit notes across the surface as well: lychee, passion fruit, melon, orange and mango. The 15s always seem to stand apart from the 10s and this one is no exception. Hints of mushroom, coal dust, wet leaves, white asparagus and then moving more towards ointments and medical embrocations
restaurant Palate
big, bold and fruity but also sharper than the 10s. More lemony, more yeasty and more salty as well. Notes of lime, lemon rind, fresh oysters, mango puree, salted butter and chopped chives. A fug of blue peat smoke slowly drifts across the palate which is pure Laphroaig. A touch of barley sweetness, some menthol tobacco and finally more medical and hospital notes such as good old iodine and TCP
timer Finish
long, full of smoked lemon barley water, engine oils, mechanical notes, soot, earth, mushrooms, tobacco, lemons in brine and herbal toothpaste. Salty peat notes in the aftertaste
