Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에서 올라오는 향은 진한 피트와 요오드, 해초의 짠 내음이 지배적이다. 한 모금 넣으면 강렬한 피트와 소독약을 떠올리게 하는 약품 뉘앙스, 소금기가 입안을 가득 채운다. 아일라 라프로익 특유의 거친 개성이 40도의 도수에서도 조금도 누그러지지 않는다. 10년 숙성이 그 강렬함에 최소한의 균형을 부여한다. 여운은 짙은 훈연과 짠맛이 길게 이어지며 강하게 남는다.

Colour
gold
air Nose
dry, slightly smoky, grassy, earthy, waxy, and faintly metallic, like many an antique malt from around or before WWII. Certainly more ‘Highlands’ than today, and what I especially adore is all this delicate earthiness, with moss, mushrooms, even damp lichen and bark, plus some wee herbs that smell of mint but that aren’t quite mint. There are many of them in Nature!
restaurant Palate
really powerful, rugged, with a coastal side that wasn’t uncommon, some salt, plenty of waxes, then bitter oranges and quite a spoonful of a dry herbal liqueur. Caraway, aniseed, gentian, bitter herbs… The mouth feel is very perfect, this baby’s beautifully textured
timer Finish
pretty long, just as coastal/briny, waxy, with a signature on hydrocarbons
