Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 시간이 응축된 짙은 마호가니가 잔에 두텁게 가라앉는다. 1962년 스트래스밀이 셰리 캐스크에서 39년의 침잠을 거쳐 더글라스 랭의 올드 몰트 캐스크로 풀려난 이 보틀링은 농밀한 무화과와 다크 체리, 오래된 가죽의 향이 천천히 피어오른다. 한 모금에 45.2도의 둥근 알코올이 흑설탕 토피와 호두 껍질, 발사믹의 깊은 단맛을 매끄럽게 끌어온다. 마지막은 한 세대의 시간이 남긴 묵직한 잔향이 깊게 식어간다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
close to the ‘2000’ version but it’s quick to display additional aromas, namely more peat and more resinous notes. In that sense it’s closer to the 1941. Bigger ‘waxiness’ as well, more mint, more nuts (walnuts, almonds), more liquorice... Hints of dill and aniseed... It’s still not a very big whisky but there’s a beautiful complexity. Multidimensional and protean (wot?)
restaurant Palate
frankly, I really like this one better than the ‘2000’ version, even if we’re in the same family, obviously. A bigger peatiness, more spices, more pepper, more grassy notes as well (that’s the drawback), more wax, more cough syrup... More powerful honeys (our beloved chestnuts and such)... The tannins are a little bigger as well, less silky, but I think they give a better structure to the whole
timer Finish
long, punchy, spicy and, err, virile
