Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 또렷하게 빛난다. 아일라 라프로익이 버번 캐스크에서 스물한 해를 보낸 이 퍼펙트 드램은 짙은 피트 연기 위로 소독약 같은 페놀과 레몬, 바닐라의 향을 강렬하게 피운다. 51.4도의 술은 입안에서 훈연과 타르, 시트러스, 옅은 소금기를 힘 있게 펼치며 라프로익 특유의 거친 매력을 드러낸다. 여운에는 식어가는 재와 후추, 바닷내가 길고 진하게 이어지며 아일라의 깊은 인상을 새긴다.

air Nose
Hmmm, begrudgingly lovely! A gentle carpet of peat overlaid with dry leaves, mushrooms, spices and some moss and damp earth. A smouldering forest. Goes on with a little soot, some candle wax and lemon oils. Continues more towards dunnage, stables and camphor with some background notes of iodine and seawater. A nice teetering balance between farmyard and seashore characteristics. The sherry feels very 'controlled' (I'm disappointed to say). With water: becomes surprisingly fruity, even a little tropical. Some toasted cereals, muesli, dates. All rather annoyingly lovely
restaurant Palate
The sherry comes across as a little more jammy here, some curious notes of Tizer and mead along with a nice hint of salted almonds and marzipan. There's a nice, lean oily texture in the mouth with notes of green tea, lemon rind and tar liqueur. With water: soft peats, green fruits, citrus, tar, oil, you get the idea
timer Finish
long and lemony with some earthiness and soot from the sherry. Drying and surprisingly mineral towards the end
