Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 조심스럽게 돌리면 깊은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 타고 천천히 흐른다. 코끝으로 가져가면 탐듀를 담은 블랙 불이 40년의 오크 숙성에서 길어 올린 묵은 꿀과 말린 과일, 오래된 나무 향을 풀어 놓는다. 사십 년을 보낸 이 보틀링을 한 모금 머금으면 농축된 토피와 무화과, 은은한 향신료가 혀에 깊게 스민다. 40.2도를 삼키면 묵은 오크와 꿀의 끝맛이 입안에 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts on a rather heavy peatiness, somewhat in the Ardmore genre, together with quite some coal smoke, burnt matches, heather, linseed oil and argan oil. No need to say this is superb, as most old Tamdhus are. Also hints of olive oil and shoe polish. What’s interesting is that the peat was ‘encapsulated’ in the bottle, whereas Tamdhus from the same period that matured for a long time in their cask may well have lost it
restaurant Palate
ho-ho, this is phenolic! Peat, wax, chlorophyll toothpaste, heavy liquorice, caramel, orange blossom water, pepper... This is big whisky! Gets very gingery after that, almost biting. Hard to imagine what this one would be at cask strength
timer Finish
extremely long, extremely peppery, very bitter (nicely so) and slightly prickly. Very unusual... Actually, I wouldn’t say this is very good as such but interesting it is
