Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 금빛이 잔에 투명하게 담긴다. 1972년의 증류액을 열아홉 해 담은 이 위스키의 향은 부드러운 초록 과일과 왁스, 바닷물과 올리브유가 한데 섞인 자리에서 시작한다. 장뇌의 서늘함과 약방을 떠올리게 하는 결이 지극히 정갈하다. 입에서는 석유와 바닷물, 레몬이 훈연된 듯한 인상이 앞서고 염장육과 요오드, 타르가 층을 이룬다. 58.7도의 힘이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 여운은 아주 길고 소금기를 머금은 꿀과 조약돌, 백묵의 결이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s surprisingly close to some refill matured mid-90s examples in some ways with these big notes of soft green fruits mixed with waxes, seawater, olive oil and camphor. Extremely pure, rather medical, punchy and very coastal. Pristine distillate! With water: just exquisitely chiselled, powerful, pure and saline. Raw petrol soaked into sheep wool, hessian, paraffin, ink and still a few glimmers of green and yellow fruits - although they lean more towards the exotic now
restaurant Palate
wow! Petrol mixed with seawater and lemon juice and then smoked. Some particularly saline cured meats, serrano ham etc, and also mint julep, iodine, citronella wax, tar, very grassy olive oil and many sharp, very precise medicines and embrocations. Fermenting honey, aged mead and sandalwood, some dried seaweed flakes in ramen broth and pure, briny pickling juices. Amazing! With water: stunning! Immensely dense in texture, thick, fat, gloopy waxes, salted heather honey, lemon oil, tar, vapour rubs and herbal cough syrups. Majestic!
timer Finish
wonderfully long and full of this particular saline honey quality, beach pebbles, chalk, peat, waxes, medicines and herbs
