Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 라프로익 특유의 소독약 같은 약품 향과 짙은 피트 훈연이 먼저 두드러진다. 버번 배럴에서 25년을 보낸 만큼 팰럿은 54.9도의 도수 위로 재와 레몬, 바닐라가 또렷하게 발전한다. 해초와 그을린 오크의 뉘앙스가 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 오랜 숙성이 거친 피트를 다듬어 단단한 구조감을 만들고, 피니시는 훈연과 미네랄로 길고 깊게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
more gentian than in a gentian eau-de-vie from Michel’s in La Chapelle sous Bois, and just as many maritime elements as in a heaving seafood platter. The rest splits itself between sesame oil and fairly gentle citrus fruits. With water: hessian sack and brand-new jumper in pure virgin wool
restaurant Palate
a landscape not far from that of the finest officials. Peppery presence, iodine, zest, smoked almonds, a few drops of limoncello… With water: still that relative softness, a perfect balance, saline, mineral, crystalline and most delightfully fermentary (fresh bread)
timer Finish
not eternal but very clean, if you see what I mean. Lemon cocktail, lapsang souchong, seawater and gentian eau-de-vie. Cheers
