Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세월에 바랜 옅은 호박빛이 잔에 고요하게 머문다. 스페이사이드 탐듀가 1968년 오크 호그스헤드에서 마흔 해를 보낸 이 피어리스는 잘 익은 살구와 꿀, 오래된 나무의 향을 부드럽고 그윽하게 피운다. 40도의 점잖은 술은 입안에서 건과일과 몰트, 은은한 향신료의 풍미를 매끄럽게 흘려보내며 반세기 가까운 시간의 부드러움을 전한다. 여운에는 말린 과일과 꿀, 가벼운 오크가 잔잔하고 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
