Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 지금은 사라진 포트 엘렌이 짙은 황금빛을 잔 벽에 드리운다. 코끝으로 가져가면 22년 숙성이 다듬은 부드러운 피트 연기와 바다소금, 왁스 향이 우아하게 솟아오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 56.2도의 힘이 그을린 시트러스와 옅은 약재, 미네랄로 퍼지고 오랜 세월이 빚은 매끈한 깊이가 혀를 감싼다. 물을 몇 방울 떨어뜨리면 연기 뒤에 숨은 레몬과 밀랍의 향이 한결 또렷해진다. 천천히 삼키면 짭짤한 훈연과 잘 익은 과일이 어우러진 여운이 깊게 가라앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
certainly livelier and maltier, with quite some smoke, smoked tea, caramel, resins and dried fruits. Something slightly meaty and mineral at the same time, also grassy (newly cut grass, raw asparagus). Whiffs of mint and aniseed
restaurant Palate
sweet, full-bodied, balanced and compact. Starts on Grand-Marnier liqueur, orange marmalade, liquorice, candy sugar… Goes on with herbal tea and earl grey, plum jam, light caramel. Hints of ripe bananas. Uncomplicated again but quite oomphy and flawless, with a medium long but sweet, creamy and satisfying finish. A tad MOTR but highly sippable. 83 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening - It's Sunday, we go classical. Do they have hits in classical music? Sure, for instance la Callas singing Bizet's Carmen.mp3 (Act I - that must have been in 1961 in Paris, with the French National Radio Orchestra). Maybe it got a little kitsch now but it will put you in a good mood straight off. April 29, 2006 TASTING - TWO PORT ELLENS - OR ONLY ONE? Port Ellen 22 yo (56.1%, Whisky-Doris, 2006) It seems this one’s been sold out within a few days. Sorry, I’m late…
