Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 또렷이 빛난다. 폐쇄된 아일라 포트 엘렌이 1970년 빈티지로부터 17년의 시간을 보낸 흔적이 짙은 피트 연기와 그릴드 레몬, 옅은 짭조름한 미네랄로 코를 끌어당긴다. 62.4도의 강한 도수가 입안에서 다크 초콜릿과 시가, 짠 바닷바람을 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 고든앤맥페일이 길어 올린 사라진 증류소의 깊은 균형감이 길게 머문다.
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
