Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 주라 섬의 1988년 원액이 옅은 황금빛으로 잔 벽을 타고 내린다. 코를 가져가면 호그스헤드가 키운 잘 익은 과일과 보리 위로 섬 특유의 기름진 기운이 비친다. 잔을 더 돌리면 시리얼과 옅은 소금기가 깊어진다. 한 모금 삼키면 58.5도의 여과하지 않은 술이 묵직한 과일 단맛과 오일리한 질감을 혀에 펼친다. 삼킨 뒤에는 주라 특유의 거칠고 단단한 여운이 길게 남는다.
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)
