Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 셰리 우드 숙성이 무색할 만큼 엄격하고 건조하게 시작한다. 풀줄기와 오트밀 죽의 곡물감이 먼저 드러나고 바닐라가 그 위를 얇게 덮는다. 팰럿은 거친 편으로 설탕에 절인 과일과 오크 타닌이 정면으로 부딪히며 쉽게 열리지 않는다. 물을 더하면 각이 둥글어지지만 발전의 폭은 크지 않다. 피니시는 길고 과실이 살아나며 1965년 빈티지치고 놀랍도록 어린 인상을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
austere, raw, grassy, not far from the 12yo by JMcA, only more vanilled and a little more polished. Porridge. With water: it doesn’t develop as much as the youngsters, getting only easier and more rounded. Vanilla, hints of wet paper, grass
restaurant Palate
exactly the same happens on the palate, a huge, raw whisky with a big grassiness and notes of candied fruits plus quite some oak. Not easy. With water: this is better and we’re now extremely close to the 12yo by JMcA. Frankly, it’s exactly as if 29-12=17 more years of maturing didn’t change anything to this Pittyvaich. Probably a multiple refill cask
timer Finish
long, fruity and, well, very young
