Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스물한 해를 보낸 라프로익이 버번 배럴의 옅은 황금빛을 잔에 드리운다. 코에는 소독약 같은 강렬한 피트와 바닷소금, 레몬의 향이 또렷하게 솟는다. 입에서는 그을린 훈연과 짭조름한 미네랄, 옅은 꿀이 매끄럽게 어우러지며 입안을 감싼다. 55.3도의 도수가 오랜 숙성에 녹아들어, 잿내와 바다 내음의 여운이 길고 또렷하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
holy smokes! This one smells just like an ashtray full of lit Habanos at first nosing. It seems that it’s rather more extreme in its smokiness than the earlier batches, less fruity too. Also a lot of leather and notes of ‘new tyres’ that remind me of some PEs. Not really medicinal, that is, even if there are whiffs of antiseptic. Fresh walnuts. Spectacular whisky! With water: smoke, smoke and smoke, of all kinds. And cigars, and leather. Also a little earthy
restaurant Palate
extremely punchy, fruitier than on the nose when neat (ripe apples), very peaty, clean… Once again, the smokiness is quite extreme, a little Supernova-esque. With water: much more on earth and roots, gentian, a little aniseed, salt, badian…
timer Finish
very long, distinctly salty. Quite ashy in the aftertaste
