Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 따라 부드럽게 흐른다. 1953년 빈티지의 리틀밀이 셰리 캐스크에서 30년을 보낸 후 38.5도로 병입된 이 디스틸러리 보틀링은 폐쇄된 로우랜드 증류소의 흔적을 고스란히 안고 있다. 향에서는 잘 익은 사과와 마른 풀, 옅은 향신료가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에 닿으면 부드러운 곡물 단맛과 가벼운 셰리 캐스크의 단 향이 부드럽게 미끄러진다. 도수가 낮아 자극은 없고 섬세한 곡선이 중심을 이룬다. 이 보틀링이 보여 주는 결은 같은 빈티지 안에서도 보기 드물다. 여운은 잔잔히 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
it’s a sherried version and I think it’s absolutely impossible to detect any Littlemillness, such is the casks’s influence. We’re very much in cognac territories, but there are also sides that remind me of some old Macallans, which cannot be bad news. So old polished woods with touches of thuja and camphor, then roasted nuts and raisins, apricot pie and then hints of pinewood. Artisan strawberry jam. It’s a very lovely nose, obviously a little ‘antique’, and certainly not worn out. Could as well have been 40% vol. No, 43%
restaurant Palate
sure it’s no big fat whisky, but it’s still filling your mouth, with some soft tannins that offset the lightness. A feeling of very old Sauternes wine, juicy golden raisins, three drops of yellow chartreuse that echo the pinewood, some cinnamon cake, a little praline, marmalade, blood oranges… It tends to lose steam but never nosedives, so you don’t feel frustrated
timer Finish
not that short! Sure it’s a little drying (cinnamon) but everything remains lovely and balanced. Raisins with a little cough syrup. A little gingerbread
