Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 호박빛이 잔에 잠겨 있다. 인버고든의 그레인 위스키가 1966년에 증류돼 리필 배럴에서 50년을 보낸 뒤 더글라스 레잉의 XOP 라인으로 49.7도에 병입된 보틀이다. 향에는 코코넛, 바닐라, 옅은 마른 풀이 부드럽게 떠오르며 반세기를 지난 그레인 특유의 우아한 단맛이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 캐러멜과 코코넛이 미끄러지듯 흐른다. 여운에는 바닐라와 마른 보리의 잔향이 길게 남는다.
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)
