Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
엷은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 고요히 빛난다. 호그스헤드에서 22년을 보낸 리틀밀 1989는 사라진 로랜드 증류소다운 잘 익은 파인애플과 멜론, 흰 꽃의 향이 섬세하게 피어오른다. 51.5도의 도수가 입안에서 열대 과실과 바닐라, 옅은 시트러스의 풍미로 부드럽게 흐르며 오랜 숙성이 빚은 우아한 결을 드러낸다. 여운은 무르익은 과실의 단맛과 은은한 오크가 길고 섬세하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
much drier, much less aromatic and fruity than both the 1991 and 1990. More pencil shavings too, walnuts… Well, one can feel it’s a great nose, it’s just that it’s a little shy after the lemony fruit bombs that we just had. After a few minutes: more precious old wood, leather, teabags, Havana tobacco, flints, just whiffs of gunpowder (well, a gun)… It’s complex
restaurant Palate
funny how it’s got something Japanese, it could Yamazaki and I’m not joking. Was this re-racked at some point? Oak, tea, ginger and cinnamon, then more tangerine drops, orange marmalade and ripe plums but the gingery side fights back and it becomes immensely gingery. Do you like ginger? Anyway, a rather strange profile for a sherry cask…
timer Finish
long, gingery, peppery, very dry. Little fruitiness left
