Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
라프로익이 1966년에 받아낸 피티드 원액을 오크 캐스크에서 삼십 년 동안 보낸 시그너토리 빈티지 덤피 보틀링이 잔에 잘 익은 호박빛으로 머금어진다. 옛 라프로익의 두꺼운 피트 캐릭터가 향에서 곧바로 드러난다. 코에 닿으면 갯바위 이끼와 그을린 톱밥, 옅은 가죽이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 입에서는 오십 점 육 도의 알코올이 짭조름한 훈연과 마른 시트러스, 흑설탕 시럽으로 풀려간다. 옛 아일라의 깊은 무게가 끝맛에 잠겨 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold, a shade darker
air Nose
the same, but a little ‘darker’ in its fruitiness. A notch sweeter and giving the impression of a more syrupy texture. A softer salinity and a more herbal accent emerging over time. Still the same stunning, poetically mesmeric quality of whisky. With water: the fruits really start to push to the fore now. Takes on a more ‘jellied’ fruit style akin to 561, only here there’s an added layer of petroleum jelly and citronella wax
restaurant Palate
more tarry, a bigger sense of fattiness and meatiness. Cured meats and salt cured white fish. But also herbal teas, umami broths and, once again, this rather dried exotic fruit style with many bitter and pithy citrus peels. With water: wider, fruitier, fatter in texture, oilier and with a more gutsy coastal and petrol quality. Draws you and takes total control
timer Finish
same story, long enough to just lose yourself in amongst all these wee flashes of fruits, herbs, pure peat smoke, earth, wax, seashore, citrus and minerals
