Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 고지대 글렌리벳 인근의 청량한 풍토가 알타바인의 맑고 가벼운 보리 향을 길러낸다. 리필 포트 옥타브에서 9년을 보낸 위스키는 은은한 분홍빛 도는 금색을 띤다. 60.4도의 힘 아래 코에는 붉은 베리와 바닐라, 풋과일 향이 솟고, 입에서는 보리 단맛과 베리, 가벼운 향신료가 또렷하게 번진다. 달콤한 포트 와인의 잔향이 길게 여운으로 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
whaah! Starts on long abandoned cow stable and quite some wine vinegar, then we have new plastic (supermarket pouches as we had a few years ago), aspirin tablets, the same chalkiness as in the 1993, some spearmint, some chocolate, rotting oranges, herbs, game, oyster sauce… Once again it isn’t really brutal despite the high strength but it’s really, well, unusual. With water: it became even more farmy and gamy. There’s also much more mint, lemon, leather and flints/gunpowder. Quite rebellious, so to speak…
restaurant Palate
rich, creamy and certainly less unusual than on the nose. A powerful tannicity, cardamom, grass, bitter oranges, truckloads of liquorice and touches of caramel. Quite a beast, this one! With water: it became rather beautiful albeit quite simple, all on pepper and orange zests. If you like the bitter kind of sherry…
timer Finish
long, very peppery
