Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 짙은 호박빛이 잔에 잠겨 있다. 1974년 캠벨타운 스프링뱅크에서 증류된 롱로우 18년은 46도의 절제된 도수 속에 짭조름한 바닷바람과 옅은 피트가 먼저 인사한다. 입에서는 헤더 꿀과 살구의 단맛이 미끄러지듯 흐르고 짠 캐러멜이 뒤따른다. 여운은 흙내음과 광물성으로 길게 이어진다. 80년대 초 캠벨타운 피트의 원형을 보여주는 잔이다.

air Nose
I believe it was no first fill sherry and it's just better like this. Having said that I find it pretty gentle, especially after the 10 that I like so much and that I sipped a few cls of just yesterday. These wee metallic touches, this damps chalk, these touches of used engine oil, these sour herbs (tarragon), these rusty old tools, these clear notes of fino sherry, with seawater, curry, mustard and green walnuts, perhaps suet, surely soot (nice, S.!) … Just everything is to be cherished here and I find this nose vastly superior to those of earlier batches (circa 2015 and such). Now…
restaurant Palate
not quite the same class I would say, with more dry bitterness, this feeling of eating charcoal ashes or clay, and fewer coastal, waxy and smoky notes than in younger expressions. But don't get me wrong, it still beautiful whisky, it's just curiously thin – although I wouldn't say it is thin whisky as such, of course. Are you following me?
timer Finish
rather long, a tad bitter, acrid, but the saltier aftertaste is most pleasant
