Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남안 라프로익은 바다 절벽 아래 이탄밭과 짠 해풍에서 약품 같은 독특한 훈연을 빚어낸다. 리필 버번 배럴에서 17년을 보낸 술은 잔에 옅은 황금빛을 띠고, 코에는 요오드와 타르, 레몬과 모닥불 연기가 강하게 솟는다. 58.4도의 또렷한 입안에서는 그을린 재와 짭조름한 미네랄, 약한 단맛이 거침없이 맞물린다. 17년 숙성이 다듬은 여운은 소독약 같은 연기와 소금을 길게 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
rosy gold
air Nose
big, oily and freshly coastal at first. Crab sticks, smoky BBQ sauce, smoked mint, paprika, squid ink, tar, iodine, balsamic and seaweed in ramen broth. Gets increasingly tarry and medial with plenty hessian and black pepper. Powerful yet well composed and restrained. With water: gets much saltier and rather prickly. Lots of cured meats such as spicy salami. Also miso, soy sauce and anchovy butter
restaurant Palate
a big spoonful of textually oily, greasy peat. Turf, burning heather, black olives in brine, tar, coal smoke, sandalwood, grilled oysters with garlic and herbal ointments. Also some wee hints of lavender and some kind of smoked honey. An excellent and very clean cask I’d say. With water: kippers, olive oil mixed with pure brine, lemon juice, wood ash and camphor. Syrupy in texture and almost like molten bacon fat
timer Finish
wonderfully long and full of grilling meats, shellfish, iodine, tar, coal smoke, peaty kiln air and fish sauce
