Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
라프로익은 아일라에서도 가장 약품 같은 피트로 이름난 증류소로, 1988년 빈티지가 잔에 옅은 황금빛을 드리운다. 향에는 요오드와 소독약, 그을린 해초의 강렬한 내음이 솟구치며 바다 소금기가 그 바탕을 받친다. 15년 숙성의 55.3도 입맛은 검은 후추와 훈연, 짭조름한 미네랄을 또렷하게 풀어내며 입안을 채운다. 여운은 재와 소금, 약품의 기운이 길게 사그라들지 않는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
very smoky and fruity. Rather maritime. Lots of white fruits… Gets also a little farmy (hay) and quite sulphury
restaurant Palate
quite powerful! Nice peat, apples, peaches, apricots… White pepper. Not much else but again, it’s quite enjoyable. 80 points . Laphroaig ‘Bloodtub Valinch’ 1988/2005 (54.9%, Murray McDavid, sherry cask #9204) There are now a few non-Bruichladdich small casks ('boodtubs') available at the distillerie, where you can fill your own 50cl bottle - but these small casks aren't really used for maturation, I think. This one is an excellent and unusual sherried Laphroaig, bold, powerful and sweet at the same time. Not overly complex but very compact and satisfying. Lots of cooked fruits and a bit of toffee plus, of course, the usual big peat smoke. Very, very nice. 89 points . MUSIC – Highly recommended listening: ah, after Damien Rice, Rufus Wainwright and The Postal Service, something quite new and interesting, finally. It's Andrew Morgan doing This awful room.mp3 . Pretty excellent, with something from the early Pink Floyd and an eatheral singing... Really atmospheric! Aligned.mp3 is another fantastic piece. Please buy Andrew Morgan's music if you like it. I think his CD ' Misadventures in Radiology' is an absolute must. June 13, 2005 TASTING - THREE BRAND NEW BRUICHLADDICHS Bruichladdich Fifteen ‘Second Edition’ (50%, OB, Chateau d’Yquem finish, 2005)
