Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 라프로익 특유의 강한 피트와 요오드, 셰리가 더한 건포도 향이 두드러진다. 1989년 셰리 부트에서 18년을 보낸 만큼 훈연과 가죽, 말린 과일의 뉘앙스가 발전한다. 팰럿은 53.7도의 도수 위로 약품 같은 피트와 다크초콜릿, 짭조름한 소금기가 강건한 균형을 이룬다. 피니시는 재와 셰리 단맛이 길고 묵직하게 얽힌다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
less extreme, a little more on wood smoke and antiseptic at first nosing, with also a little more fruits (mostly ripe apples) but gets then almost as smoky, sooty and tarry as the ‘As we get it’. Very similar as a matter of fact. With water: the resemblance with the ‘AWGI’ got even bigger. Same brilliant whisky, please read above (S., you lazy old bean!)
restaurant Palate
as powerful as the ‘AWGI’ but a little more complex and certainly more medicinal. Huge spicy notes (pepper galore) and an immense ‘tarry’ peatiness. Salmiak. Rather extreme, a true Peat Monster. With water: now it got clearly different from the AWGI. Earthier and rootier (liquorice wood). Hints of gentian and marzipan mixed with a little honeydew (note to self: have to try that one day)
