Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래된 금빛이 잔 안에서 묵직하게 빛난다. 2011년에 병입된 이 18년 롱로우는 코에서 삶은 달걀 껍질과 마른 코코아, 야생 버섯의 흙내를 차례로 내놓는다. 입안에서는 연기와 소금이 섞인 초콜릿, 파슬리의 풋내, 쓴 오렌지 껍질이 46도의 절제된 도수 위에 얹힌다. 여운은 육수처럼 짭짤하고, 캠벨타운 몰트 특유의 절인 감귤 인상이 끝까지 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s not got the sublime brightness of the 10, neither has it got its immediate minerality, and just between us, I believe the sherry’s to blame. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong (well done, S.) but while the 10 is so wonderfully streamlined, this one’s got too many side notes in my opinion. Like some gas/eggs/truffles, for example, or some kind of cardboardy ultra-dry cocoa. On the other hand, I do enjoy these wild mushrooms and the notes of soy sauce and lovage (Maggi). It’s just that the 10 was so perfectly sleek…
restaurant Palate
ah, this is not as unsound as I had thought. Good smoky and salty chocolate, some umami, parsley, Seville oranges, salty black olives (always a hit at WF Towers) melissa water, kippers, brine… And some drying cardboard too
timer Finish
medium, and rather ‘bouillony’. Now this feeling of salted oranges is not uncommon in some Springbanks
