Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 금빛을 잔 벽에 새긴 뒤 코를 가져가면 전설적인 포트 엘렌 특유의 바닷물과 사과즙 향이 맑게 올라온다. 물을 더하면 젖은 점토와 바위, 석회암, 젖은 양모의 미네랄이 겹겹이 열린다. 한 모금 머금으면 60도의 힘이 날카롭고 톡 쏘며 훈제한 허브와 풀, 라임을 밀어 올린다. 물을 더하면 리몬첼로처럼 부드러워진다. 삼키고 나면 짭조름한 재와 훈제 청어 같은 뉘앙스가 아주 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s a clean Port Ellen, without tons of tar, rather on seawater and apple juice, but the very high strength may have locked it in some ways. So, with water: damp clay, rocks, limestone, plastic, wet dogs (we’re sorry, dogs), raw wool, mud, porridge…
restaurant Palate
absolutely superb! Sharp and pungent, with this bit of sweetness that keeps it sexy (candy sugar), and then an avalanche of smoked herbs and grasses, the whole being enjoyably acrid. Lime everywhere. With water: it’s not a peat bomb at all, and it even becomes kind of gentle, with drops of limoncello, lemon drops, all that. I find it perfect
timer Finish
very long briny, smokier this time, ashy, kippery… Just not tarry
