Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남부 항구 마을의 포트 엘런은 이미 문을 닫아 전설이 된 증류소로, 남은 병마다 수집가들의 열망을 모은다. 다크 셰리 캐스크에서 22년을 보낸 이 위스키는 짙은 호박빛을 띤다. 향에서는 이탄 연기와 말린 과일, 약품 같은 페놀이 깊게 올라오고 입에서는 56.1도가 훈연과 셰리 단맛을 묵직하게 끌어올린다. 여운에는 재와 소금기, 흙내음이 길고 진하게 남는다.
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…
