Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 진한 피트 연기와 말린 과일, 약 냄새를 닮은 페놀로 문을 여는 아일라 몰트다. 라포로익 1989년을 더 위스키파인드가 셰리 캐스크에서 28년 채운 보틀링이다. 팰럿은 짙은 훈연 위에 건포도와 다크 초콜릿, 가죽이 층을 이루며 51도의 도수가 향미를 단단하게 끌어올린다. 28년 숙성이 거친 피트와 셰리를 깊게 녹여 구조감이 또렷하고 연기와 단맛의 균형이 단단하다. 피니시는 마른 연기와 말린 과일의 쌉싸름함, 가죽과 다크 초콜릿의 여운이 길고 진하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
we’re not a million miles away from the 1998 with this rather ethereal, encroaching fruitiness that meanders about the top of the glass. Salted mead, trampled dandelions, lemon peel, pineapple syrup and some rather more tertiary notes of carbon paper and old ink wells. In time it becomes more saline, gently tarry and showing more hessian and earth. In some ways it really follows a similar progression as the old 80s 10 year olds often do. With water: an impression of creaminess and a much more direct herbal quality, some coconutty gorse flower, mineral oil, bath salts and smoked sea salt. Really quite impressive complexity and elegance now
restaurant Palate
initially much sweeter and oilier than the nose suggested, with more hessian, vegetables and biscuity richness up front. Some lovely notes of smoked cereals, stout beers, heather ales and malt extract. A lightly briny peaty flavour and an elegantly textural oiliness. Starts to really feel like a bigger version of a 1990s OB 10 year old - which is no bad thing! With water: superb now! Fruity, floral, salty, complex smokiness and lots of wee herbal inclusions. Also meaty aspects and a rather syrupy, fruity sweetness
timer Finish
long, gently peaty, soft smokiness, olive oil, gorse, coal tar soap, herbal teas, camphor and even a kind of sooty waxiness
