Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 강한 약품 같은 피트와 바다 내음, 레몬으로 문을 연다. 라프로익 1995가 리필 버번 호그스헤드에서 보낸 25년으로 거친 훈연이 다듬어진 깊이로 또렷하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 바닐라와 짭짤한 재, 후추가 발전하며 54.6도의 도수가 강한 골격을 세운다. 피니시는 마른 그을음과 소금기로 길게 끌린다. 오래 숙성된 아일라의 균형이 단단하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
oh yes, obviously. Sunflower and argan oils, marzipan, bandages, whelks, carbon paper, rubbed grapefruit skin, almond milk, ink, cigarette ash… This is classic Laphroaig, and greatest of news the oak has been kept at bay. We don’t need ketchup. With water: hurray! Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade! Totally well chiselled, delicate, yet very ‘there’, and somewhat 1960s-y
restaurant Palate
luminous, tropical, with passion fruits, lemons, kippers, ashes, liquorice, peppermint, camphor, creosote… In short a Botticelli after a Jeff Koons. Exaggerating a bit, I agree. With water: there, inked and marzipaned (oh, no!) mangos. Just, should you ever come across this very rare bottle, please don’t add too much water, that may kill it. A bit
timer Finish
long, concise and precise. Some great smoked Pouilly-Fumé. Yep, there’s some limestone and flints
