Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
거의 검붉은 호박색이 잔 안에서 천천히 굴러간다. 1950년에 증류돼 1983년에 병입된 캄벨타운의 시간이 짙게 응축돼 있다. 향에서는 바다 안개와 오래된 우드, 마른 가죽이 차례로 깨어난다. 입을 채우면 46도의 부드러운 알코올이 짠 캐러멜과 검은 과일, 옅은 피트를 풀어놓는다. 30년의 숙성이 빚어낸 무게가 입천장을 덮으며 캄벨타운 특유의 짭조름한 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
this is fabulous. Complex right from the start, with this perfectly balanced combination of fruity and phenolic notes that are only to be found in old Highland Parks beside Springbank, in my experience. At random, we have quinces, metal polish, apricot pie, various honeys, wax polish, tobacco, leather, a little brine, liquorice, plums, figs, mint, dates, eucalyptus, camphor, incense, wood and peat smoke, sandalwood, coal… Actually, there’s everything. Glorious and subtle, one of the best from the roaring sixties
restaurant Palate
it’s great that there isn’t much sherry involved as this wonderful palate proves that the venerable distillery recently got back to their older style. All for the better! There’s this very peculiar weirdness that’s so exactly beautiful, with a greasy and oily side, there’s also a lot of brine mixed with lemon juice, some leather, bags of dried fruits, motor oil, a little fudge, herbal teas aplenty, a pleasantly bitter sappiness and then the trademark bitter oranges. Oops, forgot to mention fresh peppercorns
timer Finish
maybe not the longest ever but it’s got this Chartreusy side that’s so entrancing. Herbal liqueurs and spices plus smoother dried fruits. A wee soapiness in the aftertaste but that’s 100% normal here
