Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 잠긴 빛은 짙은 호박빛이다. 라프로익이 1966년에 증류돼 오크 캐스크에서 30년을 보낸 뒤 시그너토리 빈티지의 빈티지 컬렉션 덤피 보틀로 48.6도에 병입된 전설적인 보틀이다. 향에는 묵은 피트, 짭조름한 해풍, 옅은 트로피컬 과일이 서로 얽혀 떠오르며 1960년대 라프로익 특유의 익은 캐릭터가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 훈연과 미네랄이 묵직하게 흐른다. 여운에는 피트와 가죽의 잔향이 길게 남는다.
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
