Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세월이 응축된 옅은 황금빛이 잔 속에 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 1969년에 증류된 이 포트 엘렌은 코끝에 옅은 토탄 연기와 레몬, 밀랍의 향을 천천히 풀어놓는다. 40도의 부드러운 한 모금은 그을린 보리와 꿀, 짭조름한 미네랄이 매끄럽게 흐른다. 폐쇄된 전설의 증류소가 남긴 15년의 시간은 끝맛에서 옅은 스모크와 시트러스의 잔향으로 길게 비친다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a more direct style, perhaps narrower but also more compact and cohesive, with increased notes of lemon, chalk, and iodine, as well as a distinctly more medicinal character, featuring bandages and mercurochrome… It is quite magnificent, and one cannot help but think of the neighbouring distillery just to the east. And no, we are not yet speaking of the new Portintruan distillery - yet. In any case, there is superb tension in this nose
restaurant Palate
as with the 1969, the low strength is hardly noticeable, entirely offset by a nervy distillate that even hints at manzanilla, with pronounced chalky, saline, and fresh walnut tones. It remains very clean, despite a wave of ashes and burnt matter arriving in force
timer Finish
almost long, slightly vinegary and distinctly lemony, fiercely tarry, saline, and still medicinal. Plenty of green pepper, ashes, and brine linger in the aftertaste
