Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 안에 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 사라진 아일라 증류소 포트 엘런이 1976년부터 22년을 보낸 시간은 잔 위에 가장 먼저 바닷풀과 짭조름한 자갈, 부드러운 피트의 향을 풀어놓는다. 한 모금을 머금으면 포트 엘런 특유의 매끄러운 훈제 베이컨과 마른 흰 꽃, 짠 캐러멜이 묵직하게 입을 채우고, 시간이 깎아낸 두꺼운 결이 또렷이 깃든다. 56.2도의 도수는 거칠지 않게 풀려나가며, 마지막에는 바다 연기와 가죽의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
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…
