Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드에서 17년을 보낸 시간이 이 더프타운의 결을 단정하고 또렷하게 다듬었다. 1997년 빈티지를 판 베스가 병입한 이 보틀링은 코끝에 보리와 잘 익은 배, 옅은 풀향을 맑게 드러낸다. 46도의 도수가 입안에서 시트러스와 꿀, 가벼운 바닐라를 잔잔히 풀어놓고 스페이사이드다운 깔끔한 결이 흐름을 받친다. 맑은 황금빛 잔 너머로 과수원 과일과 마른 오크의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
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
