Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드에서 17년을 보낸 시간이 더프타운 1997의 둥근 보리 단맛을 곱게 길러냈다. 스페이사이드의 이 디 얼티밋 보틀링은 잔에서 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 맥아 향이 부드럽게 피어오른다. 46도의 도수로 입안은 바닐라와 시트러스, 가벼운 오크 향신료가 둥글게 번진다. 호그스헤드 숙성이 더한 곡물의 단맛과 시트러스의 여운이 길고 깔끔하게 남는 옅은 금빛이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
typical OBE, this time totally on shoe and metal polishes. That's absolutely not an undesirable start, especially since green bananas, apples and cold cuts tend to follow, plantains, old tea box, old candles, perhaps a little pollen, perhaps a touch of marrow… Very nice aging in glass if you ask me, I doubt the whisky was like this back in the 1960s
restaurant Palate
oh great! Never overlook these old Dufftowns – the same could be said about the Blair Athols BTW. Some kind of Asian sweet and salty dish with bananas stewed in curry sauce, a little tobacco perhaps, bitter herbs, then rather salty plums, bouillons, marrow quenelles in chicken broth or something… Plus a touch of honey that keeps the sweetness, well, sweet. Do not despise these at auctions (well some would say please despise these at auctions). Wonderful barley-fat body
timer Finish
rather long, with a lingering oiliness, some salt, more dry bananas, soups, honeys… Very bouillony aftertaste
