Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라의 라프로익으로, 노즈에서는 특유의 소독약 같은 의약 향과 짙은 피트 연기, 레몬이 강렬하게 드러난다. 리필 버번 호그스헤드가 캐스크를 절제해 팰럿은 잿내와 후추, 시트러스가 또렷하게 발전한다. 12년 숙성에 58.5도의 도수가 풍미를 단단히 받쳐 구조감이 인상적이다. 피니시는 타르와 소금기, 그을린 훈연이 길게 이어지며 강건하게 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
emphatic, punchy, briny and coastal Laphroaig. Loads of salted almonds, antiseptic, mouthwash, peat embers, wee glimmers of tropical fruit syrups, tar and iodine. Bursting with vibrancy and purity. There’s also things like smoked seawater, turf, petrichor, lime zest, kumquat and earthen dunnage floors. Some crushed coriander seed, hospital corridor, gauze, mint and a scatter of smelling salts
restaurant Palate
massive! A real mix of olive oil, seawater, lime juice, pineapple jelly and mustard powder. Raw peat smoke, antiseptic, lemon jelly, paraffin and tar. Resinous, salty, earthy, peaty and profoundly excellent!
timer Finish
long, lightly ashy, rolling tobacco, black olive tapenade with chopped parsley, boot polish, soot and many wee tropical inflections. Mineral salts towards the aftertaste
