Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 사라진 포트 엘렌다운 피트와 타르, 바다소금이 강렬하게 두드러진다. 62도의 높은 도수가 팰럿을 강건하게 끌어가며 훈연과 레몬, 미네랄, 옅은 약품향이 또렷이 발전한다. 1981년 증류해 15년을 보낸 올드 포트 엘렌답게 거친 패기와 깊은 피트가 공존하고, 피니시는 마른 재와 짭조름한 소금기가 길게 이어진다. 글렌스코마가 병입한 이 포트 엘렌의 희소한 피트 개성이 핵심이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a p.o.w.e.r.h.o.u.s.e. Ultra-big notes of lime and green apples, sour herbs (sorrel?), a little yeast/yoghurt and a huge smokiness. Little tar this time, rather a huge, grassy peat, although it does get a little quieter after a few minutes. It becomes also very medicinal for Port Ellen (bandages, camphor). Caraway seeds. This may well be brilliant whisky as well but let’s play with water now… With water: there’s actually much more of the very same. Lemons and grapefruits, lemon pie, brine, kippers, cumin… It also became rather less medicinal, in fact. In other words, a clean, crystal-clean old young Port Ellen
restaurant Palate
wah! So powerful, so pungent, so explosive. Almost apocalyptic I have to say. No I’m not scared, but… Tankers of limejuice, bags of green grassy peat and wheelbarrows of apple peelings. Not much else so far on my palate but I’m sure water will do wonders again… With water: OMG. One of the most perfect combinations of lemon, salt and smokiness I’ve ever tasted. It is simple whisky, but it is perfect whisky
timer Finish
you bet! It’s simply endless, with the kippers and a lot of ashes in the aftertaste
