Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1966 빈티지 토민툴의 묵은 꿀, 마른 무화과, 가죽, 약한 트로피컬 잔향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 잔에 공기를 더하면 야생 꿀과 묵은 우드 노트가 발전한다. 팰럿은 41.5도 부드러운 보디 위에 캐러멜라이즈드 무화과, 호두, 야생 꿀이 명확하게 드러나며 40년 숙성의 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 묵은 오크와 가죽 톤이 길게 이어진다. 맥킬롭스 초이스가 골라낸 60년대 토민툴의 시대적 깊이가 분석적으로 또렷한 40년이다.
AITasting Notes

gold
air Nose
it’s a fresh and fruity old Tomintoul, with quite some vanilla, tea, ripe bananas, pineapples, tangerines and then more putty and marzipan, even a little pine sap. As often with these very old whiskies, there’s also some mint and touches of camphor and eucalyptus soon to arise, also a little varnish and wax polish (like in some oldish rums). Finally whiffs of green tea and a little shoe polish, let’s only hope this baby won’t be too dry and oaky on the palate…
restaurant Palate
a rather amazing punch at 40yo and 41% ABV, to the point where I’m wondering if the ABV wasn’t misprinted. Great fruitiness too (oranges, bananas, grapefruits) and a development on sweets, jellybeans and marshmallows – at 40yo! Quite a surprise. Too bad there’s also something slightly sour and stale at the same time in the background… Industrial white beer? Also a ‘funny’ fruitiness, hard to describe. Burnt fruits? Tamarind? A bit weird but not ‘bad’, just unusual
timer Finish
medium long, a little cooked. Fruitcake. Herbs in the aftertaste (thyme?) and something metallic
