Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 배럴에서 53년이라는 경이로운 세월을 보낸 시간이 인버고든 그레인 위스키를 한없이 부드럽고 둥글게 익혔다. 코에는 코코넛과 바닐라, 잘 익은 열대 과일이 매끄럽게 올라온다. 입에서는 토피와 크림 캐러멜의 단맛이 비단처럼 흐르고, 49.6도의 힘에도 자극보다 둥근 질감이 앞선다. 짙은 황금빛의 이 보틀링은 바닐라와 오크, 열대 과일의 여운을 길고 우아하게 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts on varnish and old furniture right away, lots of roasted nuts and American coffee. Hints of smoke probably from the wood, caramel crème, hot croissants, freshly sawn oak… Goes on with a little menthol, vanilla, hints of bitter oranges… Rather perfect if you like grain whisky
restaurant Palate
starts on quite some varnish again but gets then very fruity (lots of apple juice, very ripe gooseberries, green bananas that make me think of an Irish). Hints of bubblegum, lots of vanilla again, a little nutmeg… Nice oakiness, with silky tannins. Not dry in any way. And then again these nice mentholated notes. Finish, medium long, very fresh (vanilla ice cream), getting just slightly bitter after a moment (chlorophyll, green tea). Very nice old grain whisky, in any case. 87 points . Invergordon 1966/2006 (49.4%, Taste Still Selection, bourbon cask #2722, 109 bottles)
