Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 1983년 가동을 멈춘 침묵 증류소 포트 엘런 1979 46년의 옅은 황금빛이 잔 안쪽을 미끄러진다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 46년의 시간이 빚은 옅은 피트와 잘 익은 살구, 짭조름한 바닷내가 차례로 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 40.5%의 도수에도 반세기에 가까운 숙성이 입안에서 부드러운 시리얼과 옅은 가죽, 약간의 짠 미네랄로 풀려나간다. 삼킨 뒤에도 포트 엘런의 전설적인 잔향이 입천장에 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
the most amazing combination of gentle peat smoke and cold coffee at first nosing, followed with a whirlwind of phenolic and resinous aromas. A few aromas as they come: fresh walnuts, old turpentine, flints, coal oven, engine oil, tar, hessian, almond oil, clams (or any other seashells, really), cigar smoke, smoked ham, smoked salmon… It’s simply both endless and subtle, rather different from more modern ‘wham-bam’ PEs (that we love as well of course). Complex peat, does that exists?
restaurant Palate
not exactly big of course but wonderfully lemony, smoky and resinous, ashy, tarry, salty, grassy… More citrusy notes after a few seconds, even tangerines and oranges, quite some marzipan… Too bad it falls just a bit towards the middle of the middle, with the salt coming to the front. But what a fantastic profile, imagine this at 50% vol.!
timer Finish
medium long, grassier, with the fresh walnuts that we already had on the nose leading the pack, then salt and lemon
