Tasting Notes
북부 하이랜드 크로마티만 옆 인버고든 그레인 증류소가 남긴 1965년 원액으로, 무려 40년을 보낸 희귀한 보틀링이다. 잔에는 깊은 호박빛이 윤기 있게 돈다. 오랜 세월이 빚어낸 코코넛, 바닐라, 토피, 잘 익은 열대과일의 향이 풍성하게 오른다. 50.3도의 부드러운 질감으로 입에서는 버터스카치와 오크, 카라멜의 단맛이 둥글게 번진다. 여운에는 잘 익은 오크와 바닐라가 우아하게 길게 남는다.

oh, this is very unusual! A start that happens more on roasted almonds and suntan oil, argan oil, fusel oil... Then walnut skins, wet hay, tomato leaves... Unusual indeed, but totally beautiful. Is this the end? Of course not, because it’s the herbal notes than take the lead now, lemon balm, fresh mint, dill... It all comes in waves, with the coastal elements now, oysters, kelp, big notes of whelks and queen scallops, then camphor, pine resin and eucalyptus (make that cough syrup), then all sorts of wet ‘things’ (from papers to dogs)... It’s really endless, this one needs a lot of time (or it would be like a Hitchcock movie that you would stop watching five minutes before the end.) Back on fresh mint now. Wait, fisherman’s nets. Almond milk. Plain peated barley. Old books. My!
restaurant Palate
this one is incredible at the attack, I believe I never tasted something like this. It all starts on all sorts of roasted and/or smoked things. Various nuts, various oils, various fish species... And then there’s a true resinous blast that happens, like a maelstrom of eucalyptus, mint, mastic, salt, paprika, curry, fish tandoori, cough sweets, cardamom (and these seeds they give you after a good meal at an Indian restaurant – which they sometimes call Indian chewing-gum). All right, time for the anti-maltoporn brigade to intervene or this will soon become incontrollable
timer Finish
they probably invented both the words ‘endless’ and ‘concentrated’ for this whisky. The aftertaste is as salty as salt
