Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 곁 주라 섬의 외딴 증류소는 거친 바닷바람과 사슴이 뛰노는 섬의 풍토를 원액에 새긴다. 잔에는 깊은 황금빛이 감돈다. 1989년 빈티지의 향은 꿀과 맥아, 옅은 갯내가 또렷이 어우러진다. 15년을 보낸 57.5도의 입안은 토피와 시트러스, 옅은 소금기가 강건하게 번진다. 여운에는 마른 오크와 바다 미네랄이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
much more happening than expected as far as both the profile and the ‘power’ are concerned. Very aromatic, with some rather bold notes of sweet white wine, candied apricots, caramel and ham. Meaty and jammy, developing with lots of praline, nougat and caramel as well lots of honey… Somewhat old style, rather rich and lush. What’s more, the meatiness grows bolder by the minute, with also a discreet soapiness in the background. Gets even a little too ‘thick’, as if somebody would have added concentrated wine and fruit juice – which is obviously not the case. Other than that it keeps developing on lots of tea (pu-erh, with that nice dustiness)
restaurant Palate
okay, it’s not as bold as on the nose but not weak, nor even weakish. Extremely caramelly and jammy again, now on fruitcake, plum jam, nougat, quite mellow in fact. Goes on with almonds, then bitter almonds, getting then much more bitter but in a rather nice way. The fruitiness vanishes towards the finish, which isn’t too long but with a returning meatiness and a pleasant dryness. A very good one, no doubt, but I’d have loved to try it at 45% or more. 85 points . Isle of Jura 1999 ‘Heavy Peated Edition’ (58%, OB for LMDW France , 40ppm, 2006)
