Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1966년 빈티지 라프로익의 오래된 피트 연기와 산화된 해초, 마른 가죽 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 30년의 숙성이 아일라 특유의 야성을 정제된 미네랄리티로 발전시켰다. 팰럿은 48.9도의 단단한 도수 위에 훈제 굴, 짭조름한 미네랄, 묵은 오크의 구조감이 따라온다. 시그너토리 빈티지의 정제된 보틀링 스타일이 균형을 단단히 잡는다. 피니시는 길게 발전하며 약한 요오드와 잔잔한 피트 재가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
pure and exquisitely coastal. Pink sea salt, waxy lemon rind and many touches of camphor, brine and even more menthol touches like eucalyptus oils and mint tea. Given a little time the fruits emerge: passion fruit, papaya, mango, pineapple. Almost quivers with this gelatinous mix of fruits and beautifully delicate peat smoke. A harmonious, deeply complex and almost poetically beautiful nose that feels pristinely structured, poised and in total control of itself. With water: seawater mixed with limoncello, salted liquorice, beeswax, hessian, vapour rubs and globally drier, leaner and more ruthlessly precise
restaurant Palate
wonderful attack, all on nervous, brittle coastal and saline complexities. Dried seaweed, ink, aged tar liqueurs, bundled dried herbs and mineral oil. The fruits are here too but they feel waxier, dried out and rather desiccated, things like banana chips, dried mango chunks and passion fruit seeds. The peat is oily, tarry and drying with this rather waspish smokiness. Could be anywhere from 15 - 35 years old in some ways, there’s this ethereal ‘out of time’ feel about it. With water: gah! Just astonishing power, richness of smoke, deeper peat notes, a broader, sparser fruitiness and the impression of many exotic teas. Some lighter wood spice and white pepper notes too
timer Finish
luminous, endless, impeccably saline, citric, inky, herbal, lightly tarry and delivering all these silky smoky and mineral notes
