Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 호그스헤드 안에서 30년을 보낸 시간이 1987년 인버고든 그레인 원액의 캐릭터를 결정한다. 노즈에는 잘 익은 바나나와 옅은 코코넛, 마른 바닐라 향이 또렷하게 드러난다. 입에서는 카라멜과 꿀, 가벼운 시나몬이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 60.5도의 강한 알코올이 단단한 골격을 받친다. 잔에 잠긴 짙은 호박빛 위로 북부 하이랜드 인버고든 그레인 특유의 부드러운 단맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very, very similar, just hotter at first nosing. It gets then a little waxier and less orangey, with more wax polish, encaustic and some bolder notes of marzipan. Just as nice!
restaurant Palate
beautiful again, creamier than the 1965, with more body. It’s also closer to a malt, with lots of dried fruits, wax, caramelized cereals again, roasted nuts, marzipan indeed, butterscotch, cake, sugared tea… Lots of oomph and a long and coating finish, at that. Another beautiful old Invergordon, very interesting because just like the 1965, it’s more ‘natural’ than the (great) sherried Invergordon one can find these days. 87 points . North British 1980 (60.3%, OB, new oak cask, circa 2000?) An off-commerce - I think - single grain whisky, probably made only out of corn – or in the majority, at least - as North British processes only corn these days (switching from one cereal to another one needs lots of time and equipment tweaking, I think)
